+ * This file implements the New Keynesian model with price and wage rigidities under optimal policy
+ * with commitment (Ramsey) of Jordi Gal� (2015): Monetary Policy, Inflation, and the Business Cycle, Princeton
+ * University Press, Second Edition, Chapter 6.4
+ *
+ * THIS MOD-FILE REQUIRES DYNARE 4.6 OR HIGHER
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ * - all model variables are expressed in deviations from steady state, i.e. in contrast to
+ * to the chapter, the nominal interest rate, natural output, and the natural real wage are not in log-levels, but rather mean 0
+ * - in the LOM for the discount rate shock z the shock enters with a minus sign in this mod-file to generate the
+ * IRF to a -0.5% shock
+ *
+ * This implementation was written by Johannes Pfeifer. In case you spot mistakes,
