functions. In this respect, Dynare is not case-sensitive. For example,
do not use ``Ln`` or ``Sigma_e`` to name your variable. Not conforming
to this rule might yield hard-to-debug error messages or
crashes. Second, to minimize interference with MATLAB or Octave
functions that may be called by Dynare or user-defined steady state
files, it is recommended to avoid using the name of MATLAB
functions. In particular when working with steady state files, do not
crashes. Second, when employing user-defined steady state files it is
recommended to avoid using the name of MATLAB functions as this may cause
conflicts. In particular, when working with user-defined steady state files, do not
use correctly-spelled greek names like `alpha`, because there are
MATLAB functions of the same name. Rather go for ``alppha`` or
``alph``. Lastly, please do not name a variable or parameter
