Hi AITANAgf,

Drawing extensively on @jpfeifer’s code provided at Discounting under Optimal Monetary Policy, you can place the attached files in your folder and run

dynare fixednew_camilo

fixednew_camilo.mod (7.0 KB)
get_minus_welfare_objective.m (1.7 KB).

Advice 2: try and impose sensible parameter bounds.
