Euler Equation

 

We consider the following basic maximization problem:

 

 subject to

 

where . The corresponding Bellman equation is

 

   where

 

Euler equation we got in 0620 is

 

or

as derived yesterday.

 

Today we start from steady-state level of capital .

 

Given  and  where  is very small, we find  as in

 

.

 

Given  and  that is got above, we find  as in

 

 

and so onc up until

 

 

to find  from  and .

 

If we continue to do this without stopping, k will approach zero.
