MACROLAB 1 OF PART1

 

The student should read the Introduction to MATLAB and use it to interpret the material provided below.

 

The following four programs provide examples of using matlab. The student should download the programs and read the accompanying notes.

 

Key concepts

 

          Plotting data (as in plotintro.m)

          Using a function file (as in esmf.m)

          Eigenvalues (as in samuelson.m)

          Logical statements (as in samuelson.m)

 

Programs

 

intro.m: basic commands as described in “Introduction to MATLAB”

 

plotintro.m: application to plotting data

 

samuelson.m: analyzing eigenvalues of the Samuelson model* and creating Chart 2 in this classic article

 

esmf.m: a function file that creates an exponentially smoothed* series

 

 

 

Sometimes mathematics in HTML files does not display properly. Hence, we provide backup documents.

 

PDF backup documents for Samuelson model and exponential smoothing.
