You can either do that in a `steady_state_model`-block if you have closed-form expressions, see

See e.g. [https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE\_mod/blob/master/RBC\_baseline/RBC\_baseline.mod](https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE_mod/blob/master/RBC_baseline/RBC_baseline.mod) The warning that you get should be one that says If these parameters are not initialized in a steadystate file or a steady\_state\_model-block But obviously you are setting it there.

The alternative is a user-written steady state file that can also solve numerical equations to achieve calibration targets. See

> I am not sure I can follow. Why don’t you write a steady state file that sets the parameter values to satisfy a calibration target? An example would be [https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE\_mod/blob/master/Jermann\_Quadrini\_2012/Jermann\_Quadrini\_2012\_RBC/Jermann\_Quadrini\_2012\_RBC\_steadystate.m](https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE_mod/blob/master/Jermann_Quadrini_2012/Jermann_Quadrini_2012_RBC/Jermann_Quadrini_2012_RBC_steadystate.m)
