Hi, i am a new user of Dynare. After running my mod file the following error occured:

Starting Dynare (version 4.2.4).
Starting preprocessing of the model file …
ERROR: hans.mod:14.28: syntax error, unexpected NAME

??? Error using ==> dynare at 114
DYNARE: preprocessing failed

Can you please help me with the possible meaning of the above?

Thank you,

There is an error on line 14 (column 28) of hans.mod. Please, upload hans.mod so that we can tell you more.

You need to add an "" in line 13, as follows:
alphach=(1-theta)(1-h)*y;
Also, you need to include sigma in the parameter definitions and give it a value. The model will then run.
