What is your question? From the error message it is obvious that you made an error in the model definition and/or the steady state file… The first thing to do is to check all the equations with non zero residuals and the steady state you define for the variables appearing in these equations.
After making some changes to the equations, the residual of equation 9 became zero, but the remaining non-zero equations are still present. I’m not able to find a mistake, I’m looking for it since … Sentiment.mod (6.2 KB) Sentiment_steadystate.m (2.0 KB)
In principle yes… It may be that for some parameter values the steady state does not exist. But I do not think it is your problem here, or you would know it, since you seem to be able to compute the steady state analytically.
You really need to check all the equations in the model block and in the steady state routine. For instance, I think there is a parenthesis error in the second equation of the model (the one for money demand). Shouldn’t you divide i by 1+i on the right hand side? If I do that the residual becomes exactly zero in this equation. The next non zero residual equation is the one defining the production function. This suggests there is an error in the steady state definition of y, k and/or n. So I would redo the algebra here…
thank you for your hint
I have modified some of the equations, but still have non-zero residual in three equations, and on the other hand, Dynare warns that y is complex. What do you mean by that? Sentiment2.mod (3.9 KB) Sentiment2_steadystate.m (1.9 KB)

Are you sure your model has a proper steady state with trend inflation and PI being different from PIstar? For some reason, PIstar does not enter in your steadx state file, but it should affect the steady state via the monetary policy reaction function mb=mb(-1)^rhomb*(PI/PIstar)^LambdaPI*y^Lambday*exp(nu);
That equation is also strange, because the level of output enters, not growth rates or deviations from the steady state.
Hi, I’ve tested different Monetary policy reaction function for my model which include growth rate or deviations from the steady state, but I still have the same problem.
