Dynare forums

Hi

I am a problem with dynare version 4.2
I know that must first stationarize my model, then linearize it
I linearize my model by hand and like that dynare automatically Remove it's trends in all the equations
so i intern Endogenous variables in dynare version 4.2 :

var phivariant b;
trend_var(growth_factor=1+b) gr;
trend_var(growth_factor=phivariant) M;
var(deflator=gr) Y Yh Ynh i g c h k mch mcnh t;
var(deflator=M) lnh lh d W;
var(deflator=M/gr) ph pc p pk;
var rd Rlh rlh j ns ndh ndnh w ah m po pi pih pic
q1k q1h qc rlnh;

and intern my model to linear in dynare version 4.2 :

model (linear);

Y = yh_y*Yh+ynh_y*Ynh;
Ynh = c_ynh*c+i_ynh*i+g_ynh*g;
Yh = (1/delta1)*h-((1-delta1)/delta1)*h(-1);
d = lnh_d*lnh+lh_d*lh;
k = delta*i+(1-delta)*k(-1);
ns = ndh_ns*ndh+ndnh_ns*ndnh;
c = c(+1)-rd+pic(+1);
q1h = z*j-z*h+c+(1+delta1)*q1h(+1)-(1+delta1)*c(+1);
p = kappa*pc_p*pc+(1-kappa)*ph_p*ph;
q1h = ph-pc;
ph = pih+ph(-1);
pc = pic+pc(-1);
qc = pc-p;
p = pi+p(-1);
q1k = q1k(+1)+c-c(+1);
q1k = pk-pc;
w = W-p;
b = rhob*b(-1)+epsilonvariant;
ndnh = Ynh-alfa*gr+(1-alfa)*pk-(1-alfa)*W-x1*rlnh;
Rlh = rlh_Rlh*rlh;
k = Ynh-alfa*gr-alfa*pk+alfa*W+x2*rlnh;
m = -x3*rd+c+qc;
w = c+qc+eta*ns;
ndh = Yh-ah;
pic = (((1-phi*beta)*(1-phi))/phi)*mcnh+beta*pic(+1);
pih = (((1-gamma*beta)*(1-gamma))/gamma)*mch+beta*pih(+1);
mcnh = alfa*w+(1-alfa)*pk-alfa*gr+x2*rlnh;
mch = W-ah+v2*rlh;
g = t_g*t+po_g*po+m_g*(m-m(-1)+pi);
t = sigma*Y_t*Y;
po = rhoO*po(-1)+deltaO;
phivariant = m-m(-1)+pi;
phivariant = landa1*phivariant(-1)+landa2*deltaO+epsilon;
lnh = W+ndnh;
lh = W+ndh;
ah = rhoA1*ah(-1)+epsilon1A;
j = rhoJ*j(-1)+zeta*deltaO+upsilon;
rlnh = rhoLnh*rlnh(-1)+epsilonLnh;
rlh = rhoLh*rlh(-1)+epsilonLh;
end;

i think in this model , dynare detrend linear model and not main model and we know before linearize must stationarize model
is it true?
so probably we can't use dynare version 4.2 , for automatically Removing trend in the linear model???
however i run model in this shape and got error as follows:


Configuring Dynare ...

[mex] Sylvester equation solution.

??? Error using ==> dynare at 126
DYNARE: preprocessing failed

I attach complete code
please guide me and tell me can i use dynare version 4.2 for automatically Removing trend and also intern model linearize?


Thanks

Dynare does not remove trends in linear models but in the original non linear model (before linearization). We should add an error message when a user attempt to do what you are trying here.
Best, Stéphane.
