Dynare forums

Dear Everyone:
When I run the [dsgevar_forward_calibrate_lambda.mod ] file in dynare again,
there is a trouble that I don't know how to solve it. it is coming up with the following
message:

??? Error using ==> eval
Undefined function or variable 'mc'.

Error in ==> read_variables at 72
dyn_tmp_01 = eval(var_names_01(dyn_i_01,:));

Error in ==> initialize_dataset at 32
rawdata = read_variables(datafile,varobs,[],xls.sheet,xls.range);

Error in ==> dynare_estimation_init at 347
dataset_=initialize_dataset(options_.datafile,options_.varobs,options_.first_obs,options_.nobs,transformation,options_.prefilter,xls);

Error in ==> dynare_estimation_1 at 59
[dataset_,xparam1,M_,options_,oo_,estim_params_,bayestopt_]=dynare_estimation_init(var_list_, dname, [], M_, options_, oo_, estim_params_, bayestopt_);

Error in ==> dynare_estimation at 70
dynare_estimation_1(var_list,dname);

Error in ==> dsgevar_forward_calibrate_lambda at 259
dynare_estimation(var_list_);

Error in ==> dynare at 120
evalin('base',fname) ;

I am very confused,so I really hope someone can help me to explain what’s gone
wrong?
Thanks
Yun

the dsgevar_forward_calibrate_lambda.mod file attachment as follows:

Could you please copy the mod-file to an completely empty folder and then try again.

Dear professor jpfeifer：
When I copy the mod-file to an completely empty folder and then try again,but the results as the same as before:

??? Error using ==> eval
Undefined function or variable 'mc'.

Error in ==> read_variables at 72
dyn_tmp_01 = eval(var_names_01(dyn_i_01,:));

Error in ==> initialize_dataset at 32

I want to know why?
Thanks

Are you executing the mod-file in this folder? Does the folder after running the mod-file contain a datafile named datarabanal_hybrid.mat?

Dear professor jpfeifer：
Yes, after running the mod-file contain a datafile named datarabanal_hybrid.mat. I cann't understand why Undefined function or variable 'mc'?
in fact,datarabanal_hybrid.mat has contain variable 'mc'.
Thank you very much for you reply! I am very confused!

Please type

Code: Select all

which datarabanal_hybrid.m

in the Matlab command windows and post the answer here.

OK,the results is D:\DSGE\4.3.3\myyy\datarabanal_hybrid.m

That is the source of your problems. Delete that file.

And while you are at it, also delete the Matlab path to that directory.

Dear professor jpfeifer：
You are very enthusiastic, thank you very much! Under the guidance of your wise, this problem solved！Thank you very much !

Hi,
I am trying to convert a estimated US model ( please see nonlinearomega.mod file ) into a multi-country model ( with three countries, please see nonlinearomegamulti.mod file ).
The estimated US model already runs. Nevertheless, I got the following errors with the multi-country version:

Error using eval
Undefined function or variable 'c3sigma'.

Error in nonlinearomega_steadystate (line 44)
eval(['M_.params(icount) = ',M_.param_names(icount,:),';'])

Error in evaluate_steady_state_file (line 49)
[ys,check] = h_steadystate(ys_init, exo_ss);

Error in evaluate_steady_state (line 58)
[ys,params,info] = evaluate_steady_state_file(ys_init,exo_ss,M, ...

Error in steady_ (line 54)
[steady_state,params,info] = evaluate_steady_state(oo_.steady_state,M_,options_,oo_,~options_.steadystate.nocheck);
Error in steady (line 81)
[steady_state,M_.params,info] = steady_(M_,options_,oo_);

Error in nonlinearomega (line 3094)
steady;

Error in dynare (line 180)
evalin('base',fname) ;

It seems weird as 'c3sigma' is already defined. I would really appreciate if someone could help on this matter.

This sounds like a mistake in your steady state file. But you did not post it

The steady state file of the multi-country model is very similar to the estimated US model. In the former file I only added the steady state variables of the third country.

If possible, please, see the nonlinearomega_steadystate.m file in the folders attached below.

Your steady state file does not correctly read in the parameters of the model. You should be using the header/footer of the NK_baseline_steady_state.m file in the Dynare examples folder.
