steady_state(variable) command

Postby cgg_user » Mon May 29, 2017 11:44 am

Hi all!

I am working with a DSGE model that includes public sector. Public debt is stabilized through some instruments (consumption, labour, and capital tax and government spending). I would like to use one instrument at a time and keep the others at their steady state values, I use steady_state(variable) but when I plot the IRF they responds to shocks. Surprisingly when I keep consumption tax rates and capital tax rates at their steady state values, it works fine.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thank you very much jpfeifer!
If you run the code, you can see the IRF when government debt is hit by a 1% shock and labor tax rates adjust. If you plot transfers or government spending (T_ewbg or g_ewbg) they do not remains at their steady state levels. I fix them with the steady_state() command but it does not work, the IRF are close to zero but not zero. I try to substitute the steady-state values directly and I check the results that I previously found and there are the same.

Thank you again!

Are you referring to the movements in the order of 1e-16 in these variables? That is numerical error and is actually indistinguishable from 0.
