Application of occasionally binding constraint

Please try to keep your discussion in one place. This seems to be a follow-up on Occbin simulation with dynare 5.0 - #2 by Max1

This begs the question what exactly you are trying to do. It seems you want to do stochastic simulations in your model using Occbin, i.e. employ a piecewise linear solution. In the other post you state that

Does that mean the model is non-stationary, i.e. there is the level of the exchange rate in the model and it has a trend? Or is it formulated in growth rates of the exchange rate and the growth rate is stationary? Also, Occbin requires you to have a baseline regime to which the model returns in the absence of shocks. Which regime is this in your model? The one where the constraint is binding? Or the one where the current constraint is nonbinding?
