A new algorithm is developed to solve models with heterogeneous agents and aggregate uncertainty that avoids some disadvantages of the prevailing algorithm that strongly relies on simulation techniques and is easier to implement than existing algorithms. A key aspect of the algorithm is a new...

This paper reconsiders the welfare benefit of unemployment insurance when individuals might self−insure through private savings but face aggregate fluctuations. We conclude that previous studies have under−estimated by half the average welfare gain from unemployment benefit by ignoring...

This note describes how the incomplete markets model with aggregate uncertainty in Den Haan et al. [Comparison of solutions to the incomplete markets model with aggregate uncertainty. Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, this issue] is solved using standard quadrature and projection...
