Tübingen) +- Johannes Pfeifer (UniBW München) +- Marco Ratto (JRC) +- Sébastien Villemot (CEPREMAP). + +Local organisers: Eleonora Beghetto, Katia Colombo, Adrian Ifrim, Beatrice +Pataracchia, Josselin Roman, Jan Teresinski. + +This is a laptop-only workshop. Each participant is required to come with +his/her laptop with MATLAB R2018b or later and the latest stable Dynare version +installed. We will provide WiFi access, but participants shouldn’t rely on it to +access a MATLAB license server at their own institution. As an alternative to +MATLAB, it is possible to use GNU Octave (free software, compatible with MATLAB +syntax but slower). + +Please note that electricity plugs are Schuko type F: attendees should make sure +to have the adapter to plug in in their laptop.
