Here that is what I got, but I can understand what it is about:

??? Error using ==> mkdir
The file exists.



Error in ==> CheckPath at 23
mkdir('.',DirectoryName);

Error in ==> dynare_estimation at 676
OutputDirectoryName = CheckPath('Output');

Error in ==> GS_CD_LM_PA_est_may19 at 345
dynare_estimation(var_list_);

Error in ==> dynare at 81
evalin('base',fname) ;

Actually some result already showed up on screen before the error message pop out. I already get the table of estimated parameters.

This is weird... Do you have a subfolder called output (with a little o and not a big O) in your current directory ?

I figure it out. I have a file with the same name as my .mod file, but that file has no extension name with it. After I delete it, everything is fine.

Thanks.
