Dynare forums

Hi.when I estimated my model, dynare warned me that Error in computing likelihood for initial parameter values, I check my parameters and priors but i do not understand what should I do next. I attached my codes and data file here.

Thank you for your help

First make your model run with stoch_simul. Already the check-command shows you that the Blanchard-Kahn conditions are not satisfied. There is most probably a timing error. For example,

Code: Select all

r_k(+1)=((1+kappa)/(kappa+tau))*(r-pi(+1));


looks strange in this context. You are defining the expected return here, not the actual return.
