Spurious Convergence

[olguinma]

Hello everyone,

I am a beginner using Dynare and I was trying to replicate Mendoza's (1991) paper: "Real Business Cycle in a Small Open Economy". I also took the steady state results from Schmidt-Grohe and Uribe’s (2001) matlab code for this model.

Everything appears to be fine but when I run the model in Dynare, it returns to me the next message:


...Starting MATLAB/Octave computing.

I didn’t find any past post related to “Spurious convergence” in Dynare's forum, so I hope to find some help from you.

I have attached my dynare code.

Best regards.
