Recursive Linear Models of Dynamic Economies

Lars Peter Hansen, Thomas J. Sargent

NBER Working Paper No. 3479*
Issued in October 1990
NBER Program(s):   EFG

This paper describes a class of dynamic stochastic linear quadratic equilibrium models. A model is specified by naming lists of matrices that determine preferences, technology, and the information structure. Aggregate equilibrium allocations and prices are computed by solving a social planning problem in the form of an optimal linear regulator. Heterogeneity among agents is permitted. Several examples are computed.
