Almost there... need some advice, please :)

Steady state
1

:smiley: Hello! Thank you for taking your time to help me!

I’m writing a code to run some shocks to a small open economy with formal and informal markets plus corruption in steady state.

Nevertheless, my code has some problems and won’t run.

I kindly request any advice or suggestion, I’m very grateful for even the most minor improvement!

Thank you so much!

Please try with F9 in Matlab to sequentially execute your parameter definitions. You will see that

nf_ss

is not defined yet when you use it to compute

k_ss

Another remark: you are not handling parameter dependence correctly. For stoch_simul this is no problem, but is nevertheless dangerous.
