I am trying to run the code for Mathias Trabandt paper (Introducing Financial Frictions and Unemployment Into A Small Open Economy Model.). after several hours of running,I am getting this error:

Warning: estimation:: MCMC convergence diagnostics are not computed because the total
number of iterations is less than 2000!

This seems to be a problem with your machine. Is it already 64-bit? And how much memory does it have? I can run the mod-file easily.

3

it is a 32-bits operating system, X64-based processor
installed memory Ram 4.00 GB (3.11 GB used)

Then that is the problem. Big matrices in Matlab require contiguous memory. That may be a problem on 32 bit systems with low RAM as in your case. I don’t see an reasonable workaround here.
