Dear all

I use Dynare to solve an open economy DSGE model. But, it always shows the fllowing

I can not find where is the problem. The steady state has been correctly solvesd. I need some help.Thanks

Your model has a unit root. Thus, some of the unconditional moments you are trying to compute do not exists and are consequentially reported as NaN.

Thank you very much! But how can I solve the probem of unit root ? Hoping for your suggestion ! Thank you!

Check your model whether there is an economic reason for the unit root. If not, find the error in your equations. You can run
Code: Select all
model_diagnostics

to get more information and the source of the problem.

I have considered the stochastic trends in tecnology and the price, I am considering why there is still having a unit root in my model. Can you give me some more suggestions ? Tkank you very much!
