% function [yf,int_width,int_width_ME]=forecst(dr,y0,horizon,var_list,M_,oo_,options_)
%   computes mean forecast for a given value of the parameters
%   computes also confidence band for the forecast
%
% INPUTS:
%   dr:          structure containing decision rules
%   y0:          initial values
%   horizon:     nbr of periods to forecast
%   var_list:    list of variables (character matrix)
%   M_:          Dynare model structure
%   options_:    Dynare options structure
%   oo_:         Dynare results structure

% OUTPUTS:
%   yf:          mean forecast
%   int_width:   distance between upper bound and
%                mean forecast
%   int_width_ME:distance between upper bound and
%                mean forecast when considering measurement error
%
% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
%    none
