Standardize continuation value notation in Job Search II lecture
Updated the McCall model with separation to use h = u(c) + β * sum_w v_u(w) q(w) as the continuation value, matching the notation from the basic McCall model lecture. This makes the progression between lectures more intuitive for readers: - Basic model: h = c + β * sum_w v*(w) q(w) - Separation model: h = u(c) + β * sum_w v_u(w) q(w) Key changes: - Replaced scalar d with h throughout mathematical derivations - Updated closed-form expression for v_e(w) to use h - Modified iteration algorithm to solve for h instead of d - Simplified Bellman equations using h notation - Updated all code functions (compute_v_e, update_h, solve_model) - Changed plots and comments to reference h This improves consistency across the job search lecture series and makes the mathematical structure clearer by explicitly showing the continuation value includes both current utility and discounted future value. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
