(2) Open MATLAB and add the path with Dynare files: Go to the pull-down menu "File" and choose "Set path..." and choose 'Add with Subfolders' and assign the path where your Dynare files are situated;

(3) Add similarly the path where the Dynare files with fiscal experiments are located;

(4) Go to the command window in MATLAB and simply write 'dynare Figv3_1161_v4_2' and press enter in case that you want to run Dynare file 'Figv3_1161_v4_2.mod'.


Comments to correcting examples related to Practicing Dynare 

In Dynare version 4.2, the external variables declared by command 'varexo' can be accessed via variable 'oo_.exo_simul' rather than 'ex_'. 

So if for example there is declaration in the program

'varexo tauc tauk g'

variable 'tauk' can be accessed via 'oo_.exo_simul(:,2)'.
