Dynare forums

My apologies if this has been dealt with already. I found similar threads, but not exactly error 132. Can anyone see what the problem is here?

Hi,
you have two obvious issues:

1. The nested comment

Code: Select all

 /*rhog_i =                 /* This is undefined, since sigg_i = 0.0000 */ */

in line 30 must be deleted
2. rhog_i is not set in the parameter section, hence the steady state computation fails.

Thanks so much! I've fixed those errors and now get the more promising, but not yet good enough:

Hi,
you again did the mistake that you used a variable in a computation before it was defined. This time it is in the initval statement. You have line 101-102

Code: Select all

i_c = (conag*conzg_i - 1 + del_c)*k_c;
i_i = (conag*conzg_i - 1 + del_i)*k_i;


but k_c and k_i are only defined in lines 111-112

Code: Select all

k_c = (1-theta_i)*conag*conzg_i*(gc - beta*gamma)/(gc-gamma)*(theta_c*(conag*conzg_i - beta*(1-del_i)))/(theta_i*(conag*conzg_i - beta*(1-del_c)))*(beta*theta_i/(conag*conzg_i - beta*(1-del_i)))^(1/(1-theta_i));
k_i = (beta*theta_i*(conag*conzg_i-1+del_c)/(conag*conzg_i - beta*(1-del_i) - beta*theta_i*(conag*conzg_i -1 +del_i)))*k_c;

jpfeifer, you are amazing. Thanks
