Specify steady state

Dynare help (legacy posts)

Hello, I want to specify the value of steady state by myself, instead of dynare calculating them, how can I do that in mod file?
More specifically, I have this below, without command “steady”:

initval;
c = number;
g = number;
n = number;
end;

The output says dynare can’t solve steady state given initial value provided. But I have the steady states already solved, that is why I want to input them by hand. By what format, should I write the values in mod file?
Thank you!

Hi, in principle, your way of doing this with initval is correct. Put

before

to see if your manually computed steady state is correct (or if you entered the model correctly to fit the steady state). I would guess it is not…
