Hi Anyone,  
I am trying to solve a general equilibrum using dynare and I have a issue with the following error message: Impossible to find the steady state (the sum of square residuals of  
the static equations is 0.1926). Either the model doesn’t have a  
steady state, there are an infinity of steady states, or the guess  
values are too far from the solution.  
As I am a beginner, I really would like to get some help!!  
I also uploaded the code!  
Many thanks!!

Best,

See

>
> Again Even better, use auxiliary variables. See [Question about understanding irfs in dynare](https://forum.dynare.org/t/question-about-understanding-irfs-in-dynare/10622/4) 2. You need to find out whether the problem is your steady state computations or whether there is still a mistake in the model equations.
