Optimal monetary policy with heterogeneous agents: Discretion, commitment, and timeless policy

E Dávila, A Schaab - 2023 - nber.org
This paper characterizes optimal monetary policy in a canonical heterogeneous-agent New
Keynesian (HANK) model with wage rigidity. Under discretion, a utilitarian planner faces the …

Sparse grids for dynamic economic models

J Brumm, C Krause, A Schaab… - Available at SSRN …, 2021 - papers.ssrn.com
Solving dynamic economic models that capture salient real-world heterogeneity and non-
linearity requires the approximation of high-dimensional functions. As their dimensionality …

Pseudospectral methods for continuous-time heterogeneous-agent models

C Schesch - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2024 - Elsevier
We propose a pseudospectral method to solve heterogeneous-agent models in continuous
time. The solution is approximated as a sum of smooth global basis functions, in our case …

Solving Heterogeneous agent models in Continuous Time with Adaptive Sparse Grids

Z Du - 2024 - mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de
