Hi,
I would really appreciate any help or indication of what I am doing wrong here greatly!
I have followed all the suggestions provided in earlier discussions on the use of the steady state helper files for the use of fsolve or fzero to solve an equation non-liner in a particular variable. I have used the NK_baseline.mod examples to construct my .mod and helper files. However, I get the following error when I run the mod file:
Equation solved at initial point.
fsolve completed because the vector of function values at the initial point
is near zero as measured by the selected value of the function tolerance, and
the problem appears regular as measured by the gradient.
Residuals of the static equations:
Equation number 1 : 0
Equation number 2 : 0
Equation number 3 : 0
Equation number 4 : 0
Equation number 5 : 0
Equation number 6 : 0.00085961

Equation number 8 : -0.0003351
Equation number 9 : 0
Equation number 10 : 0
Equation number 11 : -0.29867
Equation number 12 : 0
Equation number 13 : 0
Equation number 14 : 0

Error using print_info (line 72)
The steadystate file did not compute the steady state
Error in resid (line 112)

Error in firm_vol2_2 (line 276)

Despite spending hours and days pouring over it I cannot understand what exactly is wrong. This is the first time I am using the helper function so any help will be greatly appreciated. I attach the mod and helper files. Thanks a lot!!
