solving for steady state

Hi everyone,

I have the following system of equations, which is my model block:
C^(-sigma)=(beta/Q)*C(+1)^(-sigma);
C^(-sigma) = N^phi/W;
C^(-sigma) =beta*(C(+1))^(-sigma)*(1-delta+R(+1));
K(+1) = (1-delta)*K+I;
Y = A*N^(1-alpha)*K^alpha;
W = (1-alpha)*A*N^(-alpha)*K^alpha;
R = alpha*A*N^(1-alpha)*K^(alpha-1);
Y = C + I;
B = 0;
A = A(-1)^rho*exp(epsilon);

I need to calculate the steady state by hand, such that the steady state values depend only on parameters like phi, epsilon, alpha etc.
As this is kind of tedious i was wondering if there is a way to let dynare/matlab solve this system, to compare with my own results?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
kartoffel

You can just provide starting values in the initval block and use the steady command. For your simple model, this should work.
