In this paper we present a method for using rational expectations in a linear-quadratic optimizationframework. Following the approach put forward by Sims, we solve the model through a QZdecomposition, which is generally easier to implement than the more widely used method of Blanchardand Kahn.

The DUALI/DUALPC software is a system for solving quadratic-linear opimal control models. DUALI (pronounced "dual-I") provides a graphical interface for both deterministic and stochastic models as well as solvers for deterministic models and for passive learning stochastic models. DUALPC...

In the economics literature there are two dominant approaches for solving models with optimal experimentation (also called active learning). The first approach is based on the value function and the second on an approximation method. In principle the value function approach is the preferred...
