Dynare forums

hello everybody!! I'm a new user. Please tell me how to find steady state for normcdf function??
Example :

Code: Select all

1+ PHI_D_ss = zph_D_ss/(g_D_ss*zph_D_ss - z_D_ss*gph_D_ss);
z1_D_ss = (log(omega_D_ss)+0.5*Sigma^2)/Sigma;
z2_D_ss = (log(omega_D_ss/exp(RHO_D_ss))+0.5*Sigma^2)/Sigma;
z_D_ss = 1 - (z1_D_ss - S)- omega_D_ss*(1-normcdf(z1_D_ss)) ;
g_D_ss = exp(RHO_D_ss)*(omega_D_ss/exp(RHO_D_ss)*(1-normcdf(z2_D_ss)) + (1-mu_D)*normcdf(z2_D_ss - Sigma));
zph_D_ss = -(1 - normcdf(z1_D_ss));
gph_D_ss = exp(RHO_D_ss)*(1-normcdf(z2_D_ss) - mu_D/(sqrt(2*3.14159)*S)*exp(-z2_D_ss^2/2));


What should i do to find "omega_D_ss" and "sigma" in initval???(PHI_D_ss is a paremeter, RHO_D_ss=1). Help me, please!!

Compute it with pencil and paper as far as possible. Then use norminv to invert the cdf and back out the SS values. If needed, use a steady state file.

thank you for your answer!! How can i create a steady state file?? Can you give me an example? Thank you

See the discussion at http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1834.

For a working example, see my post at http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3762

Thank you so much.

I have found another steady state value, It says:

What should i do now?

You are still not using a correct steady state file. If you continue without it, provide better starting values that make the residuals as close to 0 as possible. Use Matlab debugging to look what is contained in T583, which leads to a crash in erfc.

OMG!!! I can't find a new steady state value. Please help me!!! I don't know what i should do now.

Now your steady state file is working. However, you still do not provide an analytical steady state. Given the size of your model there seems no other way. Use pen and paper to reduce the model to a few key equations and then use a solver like fsolve inside the steady state file to solve the remaining system of equations.

I have a question. How much is "close to 0"? I think my residuals is so close to 0. But it still says "The steadystate file did not compute the steady state". What is happening?? Thank you!!

Zero. The problem is that a steady state file delivers Dynare the correct steady state. Otherwise, you just provide initial values. Those must be provided in initval.

Given that only 9 out of 76 equations have a residual, finding the solution for the others should not be so hard.

Thank you so much for your help. I have had steady state value already. And it still has an other problem. I will try my best to find it in other topic in this forum to solve it. Thank you again !!! (ps: please give me an advice if you can, thanks)

Use

to see where the problem comes from.

I have done that. But, i don't know what it means. And what i should do. I have already research for solusion, it still doesn't have a suitable solusion.

It means there is collinearity. You are missing one equation and instead have a redundant one. Could be a copy and paste error, a timing mistake or e.g. a missing market clearing condition/problem with Walras Law.
