45 Stock-Flow problem

Lagrangean

factor out y_t in Lagrangean

take derivative with respect to y_t

where $Y_{t+1} - Y_{t} = Q_{t}$.

Hamiltonian

For each period , maximize H by choosing Z_t Y_t in peroid t.

47 Maximum principle

  1. maximum principle

p150 Transform dynamic problem into a equence of static problems that are connectec by inter temporal euqations.

(i) p150 interpretation of Hamiltonian

“Thus the Hamiltonina offeres a simple way of altering the one-period objective function F(y,z, t) to take into account the future consequences of the choice of controls z at t.”

“zt will change F and y_t+1. “

- F term
- $\pi Q(y, z, t) $
  1. Intertemporal connector for $\pi$. “$\pi$ connector “

Or by the Envolope thereom: only direct effect of theta, induced effect zero.

Since

  1. “$Y$ connector “

And

where $Y_{t+1} - Y_{t} = Q_{t}$.

Then

  1. Hamiltonian FOC.

a.

“The effect of z_t on y_t+1, equals its effects on Q(y,z,t), and the resulting chagne in the objective function is found by multiplying this by the shadow price $\pi_{t+1}$ of y_t+1”

“Thus the Hamiltonina offeres a simple way of altering the one-period objective function F(y,z, t) to take into account the future consequences of the choice of controls z at t.”

b.

” These can be thought of as a dividend. The change in price $ \pi_{t+1} -\pi_{t} $ is like a capital gain, except that the prices are in present-value terms, so $\pi_{t+1} $ contains an extra discount factor that captures the usual interest or opportunity cost of carrying y_t for one period. “

“When y_t is optimum, the overall marginal return ,or the sum of these components, should be zero. That is just what (10.8) express when written as “

“This is an intertemporal no-arbitrage condition”

c.

Solve
  1. clculate a. b. c. for each period

  2. start in T

  3. solve backwards,
