The dynamic properties of macroeconomic models are typically characterised by having a combination of stable and unstable eigenvalues. In a seminal paper, Blanchard and Kahn showed that, for linear models, in order to ensure a unique solution, the number of discontinuous or “jump” variables...

This paper investigates the properties of dynamic solutions that have been derived using the well-known reverse-shooting and forwardshooting algorithms. Given an arbitrary large-scale model about which we have limited information, how successful are the algorithms likely to be in solving this...
