Description

@timmens

PyLCM does not have enough educational models that focus on the Economics. Once we have a running documentation, we should showcase a few example models designed for educational purposes. In this issue we collect some example models for this purpose:

Simple College and Consumption Model

  • 18-yo, 3 different periods: 4yrs, 45yrs, 25yrs

    • Within periods, will always do the same?
  • Two decisions:

    • Go to college y/n
    • How much to borrow / save
  • Environment:

    • If not going to college: Earn some money in period 0, earn amount x_nc in main working life
    • If going to college: Earn nothing in period 0 (even pay some cost?), earn amount x_c in main working life
    • Earn nothing during retirement
    • Can add endowment, borrowing costs / constraints
    • Can add uncertainty over whether going to college leads to x_c or x_nc
    • Can add different expectations about this
  • Utility:

    • Function of consumption (CRRA, linear, log)
    • Need to scale with length of periods in suitable way
