The Optimum Quantity of Debt : Technical Appendix
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the numerical method used to compute equilibria in the economies studied by Aiyagari and McGrattan, The Optimum Quantity of Debt (Journal of Monetary Economics 1998). These economies have a large number of infinitely lived households whose saving behavior is influenced by precautionary saving motives and borrowing constraints. We apply the finite element method to compute households’ saving decisions and to compute the distribution of asset holdings. To verify that the method works well for our problems, we apply them to some related test problems with known solutions. c © 2003 Peking University Press

A Flowchart for Rapid Technical Debt Management Decision Making
Technical debt is known as delaying certain software maintenance tasks during software development life cycle to meet development goals in a short run. Such compromise increases maintenance cost in a way like growing financial interest in later development of software life cycle. Despite all the negative impact induced by technical debt, enterprise architects have to leverage between incurring ...

متن کاملOnline Appendix to “A Model of the International Monetary System”
(A.1) Rē− R̄r = γ[2b(R2σ2 e + σ2 − 2R σ σe) + 2w∗ R σ σe − 2w∗ σ2], where ē = E+[e] and σe = Var+(e). Suppose agents were expecting debt to be safe, then ē = 1 and σe = 0, so we have Rs(b) = R̄r + γ[2bσ2 − 2w∗ σ2] = R̄r − 2γ(w∗ − b)σ2. This proves the first part of the proposition. Suppose agents were expecting Hegemon debt to be risky, then ē = R̄/RH and σe = σ/R r H since we assumed eL = RL/R r H...
متن کاملTechnical Appendix for: Intertemporal Labor Supply with Search Frictions
This technical appendix is a companion of main article. In Section 2 we show how to rewrite the Bellman equations in steady state in terms of de-trended variables. In Section 3 we detail the computational algorithm to solve for the policy functions of the problem faced by employed and unemployed workers, for given equilibrium quantities. Then, in subsections 3.2 and 3.1 we discuss how we solve ...
