Policy function calculation from Euler equation

 

We use Euler equation

 

 

as in 0709. In steady state, we have

 

Thus

@@for some Q and A as in 0628.

 

We have to find  so as to satisfy

 

or

Thus

or

starting from  and  evaluated at some Qfs and Afs.

 

 

Algorithm:

 

(1)   Set Euler equation:

@

and

(2)   Find K* such that  as steady-state level of K.

(3)   Calculate  given  and  from  and  up to t=n and save it.

(4)   Change  and find the best  leading to .

(5)   Change  and repeat (3) and (4) to recover policy function of K.
