Hello!
I have specified a basic 2 country DSGE model with price and wage rigidities, as well as incomplete international bond markets. The model is specified in nonlinear terms and it runs fine.
However, Dynare cannot compute the theoretical moments of some variables

If I understood correctly, this is caused by the presence of unit roots in the model. It is indeed the case that 4 of the eigenvalues are equal to 1.
Can anybody explain me what shall I do to eliminate those unit roots? Please note that I didn't includ price levels in the model, only relative prices and inflation rates. Furthermore, an international risk premium is already present, in the spirit of Schmitt-Grohe and Uribe, which should stabilize the behavior of net foreign assets.
The .mod file is attached.
Thank you for your help!
