In SITE 2004, we agreed to proceed at least in three steps: - Solve the incomplete market economy with only idiosyncratic risks and exogenous interest rates. Compare the accuracy of the different methods to solve for individual policy rules. - Solve the incomplete market economy with only idiosyncratic risks but with endogenous interest rates. Proceed to the same accuracy comparison. - Solve the incomplete market economy with both aggregate risks and idiosyncratic risks. We agreed to all work with the same specification and to start from a common benchmark specification. The details of the model and of the parameterization are given in the attached document.
