Numerical solutions to dynamic programming problems in the context of macroeconomics: a review
Dynamic Programming; Numerical solution; Macroeconomics
The present work aims at a literature review on numerical solutions of dynamic problems applied to macroeconomic models, in special solutions of dependent-variable models. Two major groups of solutions are addressed in this review: iteration methods, represented by iteration value function method and endogenous grid method, and approximation method, represented by Smolyak method. The review consists of the presentation of the theoretical foundation and computational implementation of each method.
