Please help with my code below, I keep getting the following error:

??? Error using ==> print_info at 57
Impossible to find the steady state. Either the model doesn't have a
steady state, there are an infinity of steady states, or the guess values
are too far from the solution

Thank you so mcuh!

There is no way to help with this,
You need paper and pencil + time, to solve the model and find the steady state values, or at least close guess to SS values.

excuse what do you mean by paper and pencil method to find steady state ? thank you for the answer.

Let go back to see your results again.
I think that before this line

"Error using ==> print_info at 57

steady state, there are an infinity of steady states, or the guess values
are too far from the solution"

Matlab will give you the residual value of each equation.
To get steady state values, you need to provide initial values that make residual of each equation close to zero.
I suggest you to fix the equation that the residual value is still large.
Hope this help.
