• The "paper": contains steady state and transition results, wedges. PDF version. SciWord version (wrapped). Lee, you could use this document as a starting point for writing.
• Details on the model and computations.
• Transition results for low initial k. The results look a bit funny. Perhaps Cara could check this against her code. I cannot find any errors in mine.
• For data plots and documentation, see the April 17 post.

May-3, 2007

Updated the transition path document to talk more about wedges. Including explanation why taxes do not affect wedges much.

Implemented data routines. Cara's data for labor and taxes. Other sources for remaining variables.

Plots of basic data. Data documentation. Transition paths generated by the model.

"Paper" - Figures for the "paper"

Experiment with country specific depreciation and leisure preference:

• Figures by variable
• Figures by country (many)

I implemented transition paths with country specific parameters (leisure preferences and depreciation rates). Zip file with figures by variable.

It struck me that k1/kSS takes on counter-intuitive values: France 1.34 Germany 1.00 Italy 0.93 Netherlands 1.57 UK 0.36 Sweden 0.94 Japan 0.31 Australia 0.49 Canada 0.45 USA 1.19. We should think about whether my construction of the data is somehow responsible for this.
