Institutional Membership at DSGE-net
Supporting Dynare as a Public Good
Dynare is a widely used platform for macroeconomic modeling. It is open-source, freely available, and actively maintained by both the academic and policy community. While its outputs are shared broadly, its maintenance and development rely on structured support and long-term investment in research and development. This is where DSGE-net, a non-profit consortium, plays a vital role by coordinating the scientific development of Dynare and its ecosystem.
