What is the theoretical moment wrt empirical moment? And how Dynare compute it? I get NA for the mean of variables, I do not know why.

Please post the mod-file
I run this mod in v4.2.0 and I got the following output.
I guess why I get the NaN for the theoretical mean may be I have too much states and predetermined variables. But I am not sure about that.
I do not know why I get a warning about the singularity of matrix.
I have stored the initial values for parameters and endogenous variables into a mat file and it will be loaded by the mod file.
…
There are 31 eigenvalue(s) larger than 1 in modulus
for 31 forward-looking variable(s)
The rank condition is verified.

model_diagnostics suggests a collinearity issue with respect to the variable lSlevU:
[quote]model_diagnostic: the Jacobian of the static model is singular
there is 1 colinear relationships between the variables and the equations

The presence of a singularity problem typically indicates that there is one
redundant equation entered in the model block, while another non-redundant equation
is missing. The problem often derives from Walras Law.[/quote]
Deleting that variable solves the issue.

Thanks very much, jpfeifer, you are so helpful!
