Variables are complex & Error using print_info (line 32 )

Hi,
Can anyone help me? I have stuck on running my model with dynare. I have tried using either “steady_state_model” or “initval” block, It only stops and gives the following message :

Hi freefish,

always also provide your files s.t. we can help you.

Best

Thank you DoubleBass, I have sent a message with the mod file to you since my mod
has a little bit long lines of codes. Could you please kindly give me some advice? Many thanks.

Hello DoubleBass, do you have any idea about my model’s error? :sweat_smile:

Use the debugging technique outlined at Debugging parameter initializations and steady_state_model-blocks - YouTube to see that c_I is negative.

Thank you so much, jpfeier. Debugging techniques are exactly what I need and am lack of.

Excuse me jpfeifer. I am afraid I can’t link to the youtube network in my country. Is there any other platform to learn this technique?

Essentially, it is just using F9 or “Execute Selection” in Matlab to execute parameter initializations and the contents of the initval or steady_state_model-block as these parts must be valid Matlab code.

Got it, thank you very much,jpfeifer.
