"Solve Control for Target" to new variable
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2017 2:41 am
Hi.
I have a question regarding "Solve Control for Target".
Suppose that I have a model with the equations:
y1=x1
y2=x2
sum=x1+x2
Suppose that y1, y2 and sum are endogeneous and that x1 and x2 are exogeneous and take the values 1 and 2 throughout the sample.
Also, the series target_zero contains zeros everywhere in the sample.
If I want to solve for x1 to obtain a sum that is equal to target_zero, I use:
MyMod.control x1 sum target_zero
However, the series x1 is overwritten with the new solved values (-2). Is there a way to (automatically) let the solved values for x1 be stored in a new variable, e.g. with the name x1_0?
Best,
Kristian
