We studied the Federal Reserve Bank of New York DSGE model implemented in MATLAB using the IRIS toolbox by Iskander Karibzhanov, Senior Scientist at Bank of Canada. This model is highly nonlinear, with no access to exact derivatives. In such cases, one cannot expect the solver to find a solution with as much precision as for a problem for which exact derivatives are provided.
The parallel finite-differencing feature of Artelys Knitro is used to speed up the computation. Using Knitro 11.1 out-of-the-box, the computation time is further decreased by a factor of 5 while achieving the same value of the objective function.
