Rank conditions

Postby maria_ios » Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:06 am

Hi all!!!

I am trying to find the path in a deterministic Ramsey planner problem. The steady state exists for the parameters that I use (I have found the steady state in maple which change for different values of the parameters). The following message appears:

There are 8 eigenvalue(s) larger than 1 in modulus
for 10 forward-looking variable(s)

The rank conditions ISN'T verified!

The results are:

Residuals of the static equations:

Equation number 1 : 0
Equation number 2 : 0
Equation number 3 : 0
Equation number 4 : 0
Equation number 5 : 0
Equation number 6 : 0
Equation number 7 : 0
Equation number 8 : 0
Equation number 9 : 0
Equation number 10 : 0
Equation number 11 : 0
Equation number 12 : 0

I have done everything suggested in similar posts, but nothing seems to work. Any answers, comments, clues will be kindly seen!!!

I attach the mod file. :)

Unless you use the predetermined_variables command, your code like
Code: Select all
Alpha*k^alpha*n^(1-alpha)-g+(1-deltak)*k-c-k(+1) =0;

violates the Dynare timing convention. See the manual on how predetermined states like capital and bonds have to be entered.
