YADA
YADA is program for conducting Bayesian estimation and evaluation of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) and Vector AutoRegressive (VAR) models. It is developed by the New Area-Wide Model (NAWM) team at the Econometric Modelling Division within the Directorate General Research of the European Central Bank (ECB). Unlike other DSGE estimation applications, such as Dynare, YADA is a GUI-based program.
To take a tour of YADA I warmly recommend that you check out the YADA online help. Among other things, you can look at a large number of screenshots.
- Download YADA as matlab code, version 2.10, release date January 13, 2010 (4,502kb). This is a minor fix of the release from January 7.
- Download fminunc related diff-files (21kb) if you want to use fminunc within the YADA environment. Requires that you already have the Optimization Toolbox installed.
NOTE: The more recent versions of fminunc may not work with YADA. This is due to fminunc no longer having a direct support for additional parameters being sent to the function that should be minimized.
NOTE: The minimum system requirement for running YADA is: 32-bit Windows operating system with Matlab version 5.3 or later. YADA can also be used on any operating system that can run a Windows version of Matlab, such as an Intel-based Mac with VMWare Fusion.

Additional Information
- If you are looking for the mathematical details behind the computations made by YADA, the first place to look is the document YADA Manual - Computational Details which is distributed with YADA.
- YADA has been developed in connection with the New Area-Wide Model (NAWM) project at the ECB. A working paper describing the NAWM (Christoffel, Coenen and Warne, 2008) is available for download from the website of the ECB.
- YADA relies on some external code. In particular, it is uses some functions and ideas developed by Mattias Villani at Sveriges Riksbank. Moreover, it uses AiM (developed by Anderson and Moore at the Federal Reserve) to solve the DSGE model. It also includes csminwel, developed by Christopher Sims. Moreover, it also includes code from Stixbox, developed by Anders Holtsberg, the Lightspeed Toolbox by Tom Minka, the Kernel Density Estimation Toolbox by Christian Beardah, and from Dynare by Michel Juillard and Stephane Adjemian.
