Dear all,
I am currently working on replicating the model from Heathcote and Perri’s paper “The International Diversification Puzzle is not as bad as you think” (2013) (paper here) in Dynare using the Devereux-Sutherland method.
helpplease.mod (12.1 KB)
I use the standard Normalization (z_bar = 1), and obtain the steady state, however when I try ty simulate the model, the following error message shows up:

MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: The singularity seems to be (partly) caused by the presence of a unit root
MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: as the absolute value of one eigenvalue is in the range of ±1e-6 to 1.
MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: If the model is actually supposed to feature unit root behavior, such a warning is expected,
MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: but you should nevertheless check whether there is an additional singularity problem.
MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: The presence of a singularity problem typically indicates that there is one
MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: redundant equation entered in the model block, while another non-redundant equation
MODEL_DIAGNOSTICS: is missing. The problem often derives from Walras Law.

Could someone help me please, what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.
