Safer point not finite in GoldenSectionSearch

Dynare help (legacy posts)
1

Hello,

When I ran dynare++, I met this error: Caught Dynare exception: nlsolve.cpp:71: Safer point not finite in GoldenSectionSearch::init_bracket.

Could anyone explain what I should look for to resolve this?

Thanks.

This means that the steady state could not be found given your initial values. The steady state Dynare 4.4.3 found for your file is

You can use them as starting values. However, the Blanchard-Kahn conditions for this steady are not satisfied due to a collinearity problem. Thus, check your model.
