Ramsey - Assertion failed
Posted: Thu Oct 07, 2010 4:15 pm
Hi,
I have a non linear model and I would like to compute the Ramsey policy in it.
In short, my code is
I've got the following error message:
It seems that it does like my welfare. If I put ln(c) instead, I have:
I checked for the error:
Warning: Log of zero.
> In model_FA_NL_ZLB at 680
In dynare at 132
I see that one variable equals infinity at the s.s, but I do not know which one is, I couldn't find the variables' order since oo_.dr does not exist.
So my questions would be:
- why doesn't it accept my first welfare,
- how can I find the order of variables (if I am right, the variables are re-organized classified by predetermined,...)
Thanks for your help!
