Dynare forums

hi, i'm a beginner of dynare, i have log-linearize the model by hand, and put the linearization model into Dynare mod. The Error message is

>> dynare floatlinear4.mod

what's the problem? it is because of the model structure or the parameter? ths verymuch

You have a collinearity issue. If you type

Code: Select all

model_diagnostics(M_,options_,oo_)

you get:

model_diagnostic: the Jacobian of the static model is singular
there is 1 colinear relationships between the variables and the equations
Colinear variables:
p
y
s
x
c
w
pm
l
m
b

Looks like an issue with Walras' Law

Dear Jpfeifer,
much much appreciate!!
