Dynare forums

Hi, I am still a rookie in dynare and I am working on a small open economy model with financial frictions(as in Carlstrom Fuerst) from a paper but I have trouble with the steady state in dynare

I hope someone can help me with the problem. I think the problem either comes from the guessing initial values I set, which might be too far from the steady state values

or it might be because some equations are misspecified.



The attachment is the mod file.

Ideally, first start with a simple model that runs and then add the financial frictions. You can then use the starting values from the easier model. One obvious thing is that

Code: Select all

    pt   = 0.87*pt(-1)+stdep*eP;


implies a steady state of pt of 0, but your initial value says it is 1.

Thanks for the reply.

I changed the code slightly but I still got the following error message:
