Error in generating 'dynamic files'

General DSGE Modeling Replication Attempts

Hi Professor, I am trying to run the sample code of a monetary policy without commitment. However, I keep coming across errors as below:

Error using feval
Invalid function name 'Baseline_IRF/dynamic.'.

Error in zlbPolicyFunc (line 74)
  [~, jcb] = feval(fun, zeros(1, nAll), zeros(1, nExo), M_.params, oo_.steady_state, 1);

Error in Step3_IRF_without_commitment (line 55)
        [PHI1, PHI2]    = zlbPolicyFunc(sprintf('%s/dynamic.', SimCode),...



I tried to search the files within my folder. However, seems it does not exist.

filePath =

  0×0 empty char array

I am not confident about what should be in the file of ‘Baseline_IRF_dynamic’? Is it something that would be generated automatically by Dynare or something else?

I am really grateful if you would offer guidance.

Here are the files.
Baseline_estimation.mod (19.3 KB)
Baseline_original_draws.mat (167.5 KB)
Step1_estimation.m (716 Bytes)
Step2_IRF_with_commitment.m (3.9 KB)
Step3_IRF_without_commitment.m (3.6 KB)

That looks like version problem. Those codes will likely only run with the Dynare version they used.
