I am currently estimating small RBC model. I have log-linearized the model equations. Due to the structure of the model the steady-state values of endogenous variables (especially the employment rate) cannot be analytically solved for. Since these steady-state values show up in the log-linear equation this is a problem. I tried to solve this problem by using external function that solves for steady state value of employment using fsolve inside the model section. This way the steady-state values should be in accordance with current values of structural parameters. Unfortunately I am getting following error:
