Dear professor,

I’ ve been struggling for a while already when running the attached model file.  
The error message is the following:

“error: Impossible to find the steady state (the sum of square residuals of the static equations is 0.5097). Either the model doesn’t have a steady sta  
te, there are an infinity of steady states, or the guess values are too far from the solution.”

Could you, please, help me to see what’s wrong?

See [Error: The steady state has NaNs or Inf](https://forum.dynare.org/t/error-the-steady-state-has-nans-or-inf/15621), which is the same model you are using, but some of the conditions look slightly different…
