Hi

I am trying to get the Sensitivity Analysis Toolbox to work but I always get the following error:

??? Error using ==\> dynare\_sensitivity  
Too many input arguments.

Error in ==\> EstimationContrainte at 403  
dynare\_sensitivity(options\_gsa);

Error in ==\> dynare at 81  
evalin(‘base’,fname) ;

My .mod file is attached.

Thanks!

Sébastien

hi, sorry for the late reply. I am just beginning to watch a bit regularly this forum and I just saw your message:

1. dowload the latest version of the toolbox at:  
[eemc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/softwareDYNARE.htm](http://eemc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/softwareDYNARE.htm)

please note that now the official dynare parser recognizes dynare\_sensitivity, so the syntax is now changed and is more transparent.  
have a look at the documentation

[eemc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EEMCArchive/Software/DynareCourse/GSA\_manual.pdf](http://eemc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/EEMCArchive/Software/DynareCourse/GSA_manual.pdf)

Moreover, the options are NON STICKY now, i.e. at every dynare\_sensitivity call you need to re-entroduce any non-default option you may have selected previously.

1. I tried to run your file, and there are problems with the stedy state. i.e. when doing the monte carlo stability analysis the toolbox tries to solve the model, but solve always reaches the max number of iterations. You may have to supply more info do dynare about the steady state of the model.

I hope this helps  
best wishes

Marco
