Dynare is a free software platform designed for analyzing a wide array of economic models, particularly dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. It accommodates a diverse range of agents, including consumers, firms, governments, and financial institutions, allowing for varying degrees of heterogeneity. The platform supports both rational expectations and alternative expectation formations, making it versatile for different economic scenarios.

The user-friendly interface enables users to create models by simply writing text files that define variables, equations, and computational tasks. Dynare employs advanced mathematical and computational techniques, including multivariate nonlinear solving, Kalman filters, and MCMC methods for Bayesian estimation. Widely utilized by central banks, ministries, and academic institutions, Dynare serves as a robust tool for policy analysis, forecasting, and teaching in postgraduate economics courses.
