Abstract:This paper proposes a novel method to compute the Krusell and Smith (1997, 1998) algorithm, used for solving heterogeneous-agents models with aggregate risk and incomplete markets when households can save in more than one asset. When used to solve a model with more than one asset, the standard algorithm has to impose equilibria for each additional asset (find the market-clearing price) in each period simulated. This procedure entails root-finding in each period, which is computationally expensive. I show that … Show more
