Spurious Convergence Problem

Hi everyone,

I tried to build a NK-model with foresight in fiscal and technology, and monetary policy without foresight effects (please see model detail in .mod file).

The problem now is 'Spurious Convergence'. I checked the forum for answer, the potential reasons maybe:
(1) the government spending is not stationary, thus variables need normalization, and I am wondering in which part of .mod file can I do the normalization?
(2) the initial conditions are inapproriate, due to some of them in the .mod file are quite a algebraic disaster.

Can you have a look and give a clue at this moment? THANKS in advance ! :-)

Plus, the model is in non-linear form, maybe I should change the algorithm to find out the steady state ?? :? :? :?
