You did not declare endogenous variables after the estimation/calib_smoother command.

please help me,thanks.

As it says, your data file was not found. Please check the spelling and whether it is located in the same folder.

Professor jpfeifer ：I have check the program and data，but the error is still exists.

But now your data is named differently. I can run your model without any problems

Professor jpfeifer ：thanks for your help! I have solve the question!
