Have a look at

> You are not actually setting the parameter. What you should do is use the the set\_param\_value command. Moreover, if you have an analytic steady state, use a steady\_state\_model block instead of initval. You can find an example for such a loop here: [[Need help to check Matlab compatibility](http://forum.dynare.org/t/need-help-to-check-matlab-compatibility/3192/1)). Basically, you need to write a Matlab m-file with the following parts: rhos = 0.8:0.05:1.05; first\_time = 1; for i=1:length(rhos) if first\_time set\_param\_value('rho',rhos(i)); dynare your\_…
