Dear MMB-Team, I am trying to execute your QUEST3.mod but I get the following errors. I use Dynare 4.5.7 in Matlab R2019b:

dynare EA_Quest3.mod

Configuring Dynare …
[mex] Generalized QZ.
[mex] Sylvester equation solution.
[mex] Kronecker products.
[mex] Sparse kronecker products.
[mex] Local state space iteration (second order).
[mex] Bytecode evaluation.
[mex] k-order perturbation solver.
[mex] k-order solution simulation.
[mex] Quasi Monte-Carlo sequence (Sobol).
[mex] Markov Switching SBVAR.

Hi cmerino, thank you for your question and interest in the MMB.

Please have in mind that MMB files you can run only through the MMB platform - in that case you select different options and assign values necessary to run the simulations.

Alternatively, if you want to replicate the results of certain models directly from Matlab (or Octave), you need to download the replication package from our website. In the next step, you find the folder for the model of your interest and run the replication, as described in the respective readme file.
