Terminal conditions in forward-looking economic models
In this paper we show how the popular L-B-J algorithm for solving forward-looking economic models using Newton methods can be gen- eralised to allow for a block of terminal equations for variables that appear with a lead. The e¤ect of choosing di¤erent types of termi- nal condition is explored in a simple stochastic growth model using WinSolve, a general nonlinear model solution package.
