Hi,
there is also something that I don’t understand about the steady state file. In Dynare manual, the steady state file is presented as an alternative to solving the model with an external Maple file by solving the model directly into Matlab. However, because all equations have to be input sequentially, with all endogenous variables being defined as functions of parameters and already known endogenous variables at their steady state, it seems to me that using a steady state file exactly amounts to solving for the steady state by hand, right ?
