Enhancing the Model Object Functionality

[tvonbrasch]

Hi,

Thank you for the great work on improving the model object in EViews.

There are two important functionalities that should be added:

Optimal policy: It should be possible to run optimal policy experiments where the simulations determine the paths of one or more instrument variables that minimize the value of a specified loss function (see, for example, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21565 and viewtopic.php?p=70635&hilit=filter#p70635)

Improved algorithm for solving forward-looking models: The current algorithm does not yet include some of the special handling found in the FRB/US implementation—most notably for linear rational expectations models with a maximum lead of +1.

Keep up the good work!
