Declare endogenous variables after the estimation command?

Dynare v4 (legacy)
1

Hi There,

Using Dynare 4.0.2 in MATLAB, and trying to do a Bayesian estimation. When I run my code, after computing the steady state Dynare spits out the line:

You did not declare endogenous variables after the estimation command.

What does this mean? I declared my endogenous variables at the beginning of the .mod file. Why would I declare them again after the estimation command?

Thanks,
AS

Yes, same problem. What is going on? Apparently without this extra declaration, the moments varendo takes a very long time. Help? Ideas?
