Hi, I am new to Dynare and I run into some problems trying to solve the simple CBDC New Keynesian model proposed by Piazzesi, Rogers, and Schneider (2019) https://web.stanford.edu/~piazzesi/MBinNK.pdf using the equations provided in Appendix 1.
Problem (1): I get impulse response functions for every one of my variables except the money demand (Equation 5) and cannot figure out why.
Problem (2): I get policy function only for the demand for money (eq. 5) and the price function (eq. 2), but not for any other variables.
Additional information that might be helpful: I get NaN in the theoretical moments of n, the money variable. I checked for unit roots and there seems to be an eigenvalue equal to 1, however I am not able to tell if it corresponds to n, since the price level p also displays NaN for theoretical moments.
Attached you will find the mod file I was trying to write to simulate Piazzesi, Rogers, and Schneider findings. Money_Banking_NKM.mod (2.9 KB)
Dear b_llm,
I think I’ve figured out the problem in your code. In order to solve the issue that you mention, you should have only stationary variables. However, assets n and price p are not stationary in your model, so they do not come back to the steady state after a shock. In NK models it is pretty common that nominal variables are not stationary. What you can do is replace n and p with real assets (asset minus price) and inflation. I’ve done it (see the modified code) and it seems to work.
Best,
I am trying to plot the policy functions for the variables in this model, but the code only outputs parameters for the real money policy function and for the shock. I am wondering why no policy functions appear for the rest of the variables, what type of mistake in the code could cause this?
