Hi!
I am not very experienced in working with dynare and I completely don't know what I should do with such mistake..
Could you give me a hint?

Warning: BETAINV did not converge for a = 23.5125, b = 0.2375, p = 0.999.

ESTIMATION_CHECKS: There was an error in computing the likelihood for initial parameter values.
ESTIMATION_CHECKS: You should try using the calibrated version of the model as starting values. To do
ESTIMATION_CHECKS: this, add an empty estimated_params_init-block with use_calibration option immediately before the estimation
ESTIMATION_CHECKS: command (and after the estimated_params-block so that it does not get overwritten):
