Log version of model not working

Dynare help (legacy posts)

Hi,

The non linear model worked fine but in exp() form it says the steady state values are too far away from initial values and I am using the same initial values as I did for the non linear form. I am not sure about what I should do next. Any help is welcome

My file is attached

Thanks!

Did you take the logs of initial values of the non-log version? If yes, instead of using the log of the initial values from the non-log version, use the log of the actual steady state values found by Dynare. The problem is that due to the variable substitution, the numerical optimizers may have trouble finding the same steady state.

Thank you so much. That solved my problem.
