Dear all,
I am studying the second order approximation ramsey policy with Uribe & Schmitt-Grohe’s code(JME, 2007).
Their model is in the attached file appendix B (pp46), jme_revision_expanded.pdf (448.0 KB)
And they have constraints codes like this file for above 16 equations as e1_cu~e16_cu, constraints.m (5.3 KB)
I try to revise their codes to mine, but I can’t understand some parts realted to “time”.
Among their code files, I don’t know the logic how to select the variables in ramsey_f.m file.ramsey_f.m (4.5 KB)
- For “time”,they use codes as follow;
t-2 : ba2
t-1 : ba2p or ba1
t : ba1p or cu
t+1 : cup or fu1
t+2 : fu1p
Please see attached ramsey_f.m file from line19th~24th.
%Replace all variables that appear in foc as _fu1 but not as _fu1p by variables in _cup
fu1only = [h_fu1 iv_fu1 k_fu1 la_fu1 mc_fu1 pai_fu1 q_fu1 xi14_fu1 xi16_fu1 xi1_fu1 xi4_fu1 xi7_fu1 xi8_fu1 z_fu1 ];
fu1only2cup = [h_cup iv_cup k_cup la_cup mc_cup pai_cup q_cup xi14_cup xi16_cup xi1_cup xi4_cup xi7_cup xi8_cup z_cup ];
foc=subs(foc,fu1only, fu1only2cup);
h~q are eondogenous variables and xi14~xi8 are lagrangian multipliers, which are selected among lots of engogenous variabels and 16 constraints.
[h_fu1 iv_fu1 k_fu1 la_fu1 mc_fu1 pai_fu1 q_fu1 xi14_fu1 xi16_fu1 xi1_fu1 xi4_fu1 xi7_fu1 xi8_fu1 z_fu1 ]
I don’t know how to choose the variables which are matched to these in line 20th( [h_fu1 iv_fu1 k_fu1 la_fu1 mc_fu1 pai_fu1 q_fu1 xi14_fu1 xi16_fu1 xi1_fu1 xi4_fu1 xi7_fu1 xi8_fu1 z_fu1 ]), 27th and 36th.
If someone have done this or known this, Please help me to know how to solve this problem~
Thank you for all,
Esther
