"Dynare" workflow for classes using Julia?

[jlperla]

See http://discourse.quantecon.org/t/dynare-for-julia/237/11 for more of a discussion.

The basic hope is to be able to try out:

• https://github.com/EconForge/dolo.jl
• Or, if that isn't working well enough, try to run Dynare++ and read in the matlab output in julia. The only problem with that is we would need to have them locally install Dynare++ (if the workflow even works at all).

and collect simple enough instructions tutorial for how to run a model with this, with some basic output that you might see with dynare (e.g. transition dynamics for neoclassical growth, IRFs for a simple RBC model). We can keep things simple to begin with.

Note with Dolo that the docs seem a little off EconForge/Dolo.jl#127

A final option is Dyno.jl, which Pablo says is incomplete but could work (and runs on .mod files). There are some documentation issues, but it could work. See EconForge/Dyno.jl#1

Closing for now as we have the starting point.
