ERFC(x)

[hodabbbb]

I have a problem with the steady state. I am using the ''normcdf'' function in my ss file.
it used to work well in my previous model.
I modified the model and now this is the error I get . Any idea what should I check ???
thnx in advance

I need to see the file, but my guess is that you are not correctly filtering out an exception that occurs earlier so that the input provided to the normcdf function is invalid.

Thanks for the comment.
please find attached the file
obviously the problem is from including the NORMCDF command in ''fun'' file

You need to tell your solver that psi cannot be negative as you are taking the log of it. Use an exp() tranformation for this.

Thanks a lot Mr. Pfeifer for taking your time.
Very much appreciated .
