This has to do with the fact that you have a linear model with variables that contain constant terms. You need to provide analytical solutions for these variables when you use a steady\_state\_model block. You could use the initval-block values from my other response to your model: [[Steady state values in log-linearized model: Problem](https://forum.dynare.org/t/steady-state-values-in-log-linearized-model-problem/4947/3))
