摘要
En 中文
• We develop a novel endogenous gridpoint method (DEGM) to solve distributional dynamics in heterogeneous agent models. DEGM is a fast and accurate interpolation scheme that captures nonlinearities without requiring integration. • Compared to the standard lottery method, DEGM converges faster and achieves higher accuracy with fewer gridpoints. This improves the computational tractability of solving models with rich heterogeneity. • We show that DEGM is compatible with third-order perturbation methods and captures nonlinear distributional effects that the lottery method misses. • Applying our method to a model with capital depreciation shocks, we find that aggregate investment risk increases wealth inequality. The effect arises from nonlinear distributional dynamics that DEGM captures and standard methods miss.
