An interactive tool to visualize the impulse response functions (IRF) and stochastic simulations of a ``mickey mouse” RBC model.

Here, you can play with a variety of parameters and see how the steady state and IRFs change.

The solution technique is the Method of Undetermined Coefficients (Christiano, 2002), which was demonstrated beautifully in chapter 6 of McCandless (2008).
