Dynare forums

I'm having some troubles estimating parameter values for a DSGE Model using Bayesian Estimation. I get the following problem notice:

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

Is it possible that you can tell me, what is wrong. Is it my code (mod. file)? Or is it the data-import from excel that causes troubles?


Kind regards

This seems to be a problem with your system. Which operating system and Matlab/Octave version are you using?

I am using Windows 10, and the Octave version is the 4.0.3. Should i try to reinstall the Octave program?

Best regards

Dynare is not compatible with Octave 4 at the current stage. You would have to use 3.8.1.

i'll try. Thank you!
