standard deviation in theoretical moment table

Dear all,

I was trying to replicate the Hansen's indivisible labor model (1985) but for some reasons the standard deviation of in my theoretical moment tables are way off. If possible, please have a look on the code and let me know if I make errors in the code.

Many thanks and best regards,
David

Code:
// One country RBC model with Hansen indivisible labour

var y_h c_h i_h k_h h_h r_h lambda_h;
varexo e_h;

parameters DELTA THETA BETA A H B GEMMA SIGMA_E_H;
DELTA = 0.025;
THETA = 0.36;
BETA = 0.99;
A = 2;
H = 7/12;
B = A*(log(1-H))/H;
// Parameters for the exogenous shocks VAR(1) model
GEMMA = 0.95;
SIGMA_E_H = 0.007;

H_h_bar = (-1)*(1-THETA)/(B*(1-(DELTA*THETA*BETA)/(1-BETA*(1-DELTA))));
K_h_bar = ((THETA/(1/BETA-1+DELTA))^(1/(1-THETA)))*H_h_bar;
I_h_bar = DELTA*K_h_bar;

// rearrange from FOC kt+1 -- intertemporal condition
exp(r_h(+1)) = (1/BETA)*exp(c_h(+1))/exp(c_h)-1+DELTA;
