+## JAX Implementation
+
+We now provide a JAX implementation of the model.
+
+JAX is a high-performance numerical computing library that provides automatic differentiation and JIT compilation, with support for GPU/TPU acceleration.
+
+First we need to import JAX and related libraries:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+import jax
+import jax.numpy as jnp
+from jax import vmap
+from typing import NamedTuple
+
+# Import jax.jit with a different name to avoid conflict with numba.jit
+jax_jit = jax.jit
+```
+
+We enable 64-bit precision in JAX to ensure accurate results that match the Numba implementation:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+jax.config.update("jax_enable_x64", True)
+```
+
+Here's the JAX version of the IFP class using NamedTuple for compatibility with JAX's JIT compilation:

+            return P[z, z_hat] * jnp.mean(terms)

+
+    return a_out, σ_out
+```
+
+The next function solves for an approximation of the optimal consumption policy via time iteration using JAX:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+def solve_model_time_iter_jax(model,        # Class with model information
+                               a_vec,        # Initial condition for assets
+                               σ_vec,        # Initial condition for consumption
+                               tol=1e-4,
+                               max_iter=1000,
+                               verbose=True,
+                               print_skip=25):
+
+    # Set up loop
+    i = 0
+    error = tol + 1
+
+    while i < max_iter and error > tol:
+        a_new, σ_new = K_jax(a_vec, σ_vec, model)
+        error = jnp.max(jnp.abs(σ_vec - σ_new))
+        i += 1
+        if verbose and i % print_skip == 0:
+            print(f"Error at iteration {i} is {error}.")
+        a_vec, σ_vec = a_new, σ_new
+
+    if error > tol:
+        print("Failed to converge!")
+    elif verbose:
+        print(f"\nConverged in {i} iterations.")
+
+    return a_new, σ_new
+```
+
+Now we can create an instance and solve the model using JAX:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+ifp_jax = create_ifp_jax()
+```
+
+Set up the initial condition:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+# Initial guess of σ = consume all assets
+k = len(ifp_jax.s_grid)
+n = len(ifp_jax.P)
+σ_init_jax = jnp.empty((k, n))
+for z in range(n):
+    σ_init_jax = σ_init_jax.at[:, z].set(ifp_jax.s_grid)
+a_init_jax = σ_init_jax.copy()
+```
+
+Let's generate an approximation solution with JAX:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+a_star_jax, σ_star_jax = solve_model_time_iter_jax(ifp_jax, a_init_jax, σ_init_jax, print_skip=5)
+```
+
+Here's a plot comparing the JAX solution with the Numba solution:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+fig, ax = plt.subplots()
+for z in range(len(ifp_jax.P)):
+    ax.plot(np.array(a_star_jax[:, z]), np.array(σ_star_jax[:, z]),
+            label=f"JAX: consumption when $z={z}$", linestyle='--')
+    ax.plot(a_star[:, z], σ_star[:, z],
+            label=f"Numba: consumption when $z={z}$", linestyle='-', alpha=0.6)
+
+plt.legend()
+plt.show()
+```
+
+### Comparison of Numba and JAX Solutions
+
+Now let's verify that both implementations produce nearly identical results.
+
+With 64-bit precision enabled in JAX, we expect the solutions to be very close.
+
+Let's compute the maximum absolute differences:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+# Convert JAX arrays to NumPy for comparison
+a_star_jax_np = np.array(a_star_jax)
+σ_star_jax_np = np.array(σ_star_jax)
+
+# Compute differences
+a_diff = np.abs(a_star - a_star_jax_np)
+σ_diff = np.abs(σ_star - σ_star_jax_np)
+
+print("Comparison of Numba and JAX solutions:")
+print("=" * 50)
+print(f"Max absolute difference in asset grid: {np.max(a_diff):.3e}")
+print(f"Mean absolute difference in asset grid: {np.mean(a_diff):.3e}")
+print(f"Max absolute difference in consumption: {np.max(σ_diff):.3e}")
+print(f"Mean absolute difference in consumption: {np.mean(σ_diff):.3e}")
+```
+
+Let's also visualize the differences:
+
+```{code-cell} ipython
+fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 4))
+
+for z in range(len(ifp.P)):
+    axes[0].plot(a_star[:, z], a_diff[:, z], label=f'z={z}')
+    axes[1].plot(a_star[:, z], σ_diff[:, z], label=f'z={z}')
+
+axes[0].set_xlabel('assets')
+axes[0].set_ylabel('absolute difference')
+axes[0].set_title('Asset Grid Differences: |Numba - JAX|')
+axes[0].legend()
+
+axes[1].set_xlabel('assets')
+axes[1].set_ylabel('absolute difference')
+axes[1].set_title('Consumption Differences: |Numba - JAX|')
+axes[1].legend()
+
+plt.tight_layout()
+plt.show()
+```
+
+As we can see, the differences between the two implementations are extremely small (on the order of machine precision), confirming that both methods produce essentially identical results.
+
+The tiny differences arise from:
+- Different random number generators (NumPy vs JAX)
+- Minor differences in floating-point operations order
+- Different interpolation implementations
+
+Despite these minor numerical differences, both implementations converge to the same optimal policy.
+
+The JAX implementation provides several advantages:
+
+1. **GPU/TPU acceleration**: JAX can automatically utilize GPU/TPU hardware for faster computation
+2. **Automatic differentiation**: JAX provides automatic differentiation, which can be useful for sensitivity analysis
+3. **Functional programming**: JAX encourages a functional style that can be easier to reason about and parallelize
