Overview

About

Maintained by Sagiru MatiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

It allows running 'Dynare' program from base R, R Markdown and Quarto. 'Dynare' is a software platform for handling a wide class of economic models, in particular dynamic stochastic general equilibrium ('DSGE') and overlapping generations ('OLG') models. This package does not only integrate R and Dynare but also serves as a 'Dynare' Knit-Engine for 'knitr' package. The package requires 'Dynare' (https://www.dynare.org/) and 'Octave' (https://www.octave.org/download.html). Write all your 'Dynare' commands in R or R Markdown chunk.

Changes in 0.1.5

Added support for Matlab. The package now works with both Octave and Matlab
Added `set_matlab_path() function, which sets path to the Matlab executable to use.
include_IRF() function gained a new argument crop=TRUE. This crops the white space around IRF graphs
The package now automatically converts IRF graphs to png if the output format is not latex

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("DynareR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("sagirumati/DynareR")

Development version from sagirumati/DynareR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-dynarer

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-DynareR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-DynareR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
