You did not say anything about your error type in Dynare.
Altough I think that you did not set \star for some variables in your equations.
error: y is not a parameter
I think that you did not set * for some of your equations in the model.
For example in the first equation or production function:
y=A*k^(1-alpha) ;
You commented out the model; statement.
I don’t think this is true because the model provided steady state values with the same appearance
bbb.mod (1.1 KB)
In your first post * sign was not ready for many equations of the model.
It seems that you reformed the model.
When you post text without putting it into ```, then the * sign is the sign for italics. I had reformatted the original post.
Again, you commented out the model-statement:
//model(differentiate_forward_vars=(D));
// is the command for comments.

what is the cause of the following error?
ERROR: line 41, cols 1-3: syntax error, unexpected VAR
There is no end; to your initval-block.
OK; But despite end at the block of initval , it still gives the same error

Dynare: preprocessing failed
There were various issues like a missing semicolon. I fixed a few things. Now the problem is the steady state:
bbb.mod (975 Bytes)
Now do you think the initial values should be changed? Because I had obtained the initial values that I put in the model from the following file:
olgg.mod (1.3 KB)
Those initial values are conditional on the value of the exogenous variables. In stochastic simulations, their value will be set to 0. You need to adjust the initial values and/or the model equations accordingly.

You can only use direct assignments outside of the model block. For example,
1/cYss = beta*(1-m)*((1+r(+1))/(cOss(+1)));
is not allowed.
hi;What do you think about my modeling?Especially equation 5(Population growth equation)
