This is a laptop only workshop. Each participant is required to come with his/her laptop with MATLAB R2014a 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).
