Dynare forums

Help!
I'm new here and I begin to learn dynare lately
I conducted a very simple model, but matlab told me that the rank condition isn't verifiled
I'm very confused about this "rank condition", as I don't know much about it.
Thanks very much!

Hi,

This refers to the Blanchard and Kahn conditions which establish the local conditions for existence and uniqueness of a stable rational expectations solution.

Their 1980 paper in Econometrica, "The Solution of Linear Difference Models under Rational Expectations", explicits the order and rank condition for a linear model.

You can read this for a generalization to non-linear models and some examples:

Something in your model is misspecified. You may need to change the value of some parameters to get a unique stable solution.

Best,
