Computes mean and variance of a prior distribution from a quantile (as e.g. provided in Schmitt-Grohé/Uribe (2012): What's news in business cycles, Econometrica).
Run run_prior_parameter_calculation.m
in Matlab after doing the necessary adjustments to the prior_specification
cell. The file will generate a prior_specification_Dynare.txt
file containing the prior specification using the mean and standard deviations as in Dynare.
