Unidentifiable error

Dynare help (legacy posts)

Hi, everybody. I’m trying to solve a model with a specification that is slightly more complicated than the one for which I already have a running version. This is the resulting error:

[quote]SOLVE: maxit has been reached

Not enough input arguments.

Error in resid (line 87)
[N,nz]=size(z);

Error in steady (line 90)
resid;

Error in deleveraging_b (line 195)
steady;

Error in dynare (line 180)
evalin(‘base’,fname) ;[/quote]

I can’t understand what the source of the problem is, since I am sure of the steady state, which can be easily computed using pencil and paper and the model equations are correct. Any hint ?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, when putting resid before steady, I get

which means your initial values do not solve the model. Hence, there must be a mistake somewhere.

Second, the error message you report seems to be due to a path conflict. Please check whether there is a file another file resid.m that is called. E.g. type

into Matlab and see what turns up.

Thanks, typing which resid yields

It’s part of a toolbox I didn’t know existed. Unfortunately, I cannot rename this file. Is there another way around ?

Please reset your Matlab path (Home Tab -> Set Path). First, delete all paths to Dynare. Then add path to the Dynare matlab folder on top. That should solve the problem.
