I am trying to replicate a paper, but after the preprocessing i get four errors. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?  
Thank you all in advance!

Your steady\_state\_model block is wrong. Use F9 in Matlab to execute the parameter initializations and the contents of the block. You will see that

[quote]i\_to\_y\_ss =

```
4.8894[/quote]

```

which is clearly wrong as it must be smaller than 1. Work from there until it fits.
