I am trying to the DSGE model of Cho and Moreno (JMCB), provided by Philip Liu, on euro area data. However, Dynare is giving the following error:
??? Error using ==> chol
Matrix must be positive definite.
Error in ==> metropolis_hastings_initialization at 52

dynare_estimation_1(var_list,varargin{:});
Error in ==> moreno_mcmc at 164

evalin('base',fname) ;
I am attaching the .mod file and the data. Any help?
