Description

  • Fix typos in the lecture

Typo 1:

There's a minor typo in Equation (69.6). The equations written are:

$$
\begin{aligned}
C_{yt} &= \beta \Bigl[ W_t (1 - \tau_t) - \delta_{yt} - \frac{\delta_{ot}}{1 + r_{t+1}(1 - \tau_{t+1})} \Bigr], \
\frac{C_{0,t+1}}{1 + r_{t+1}(1 - \tau_{t+1})} &= (1 - \beta) \Bigl[ W_t (1 - \tau_t) - \delta_{yt} - \frac{\delta_{ot}}{1 + r_{t+1}(1 - \tau_{t+1})} \Bigr].
\end{aligned}
$$

The correct version should be:

$$
\begin{aligned}
C_{yt} &= \beta \Bigl[ W_t (1 - \tau_t) - \delta_{yt} - \frac{\delta_{ot}}{1 + r_{t+1}(1 - \tau_{t+1})} \Bigr], \
\frac{C_{o,t+1}}{1 + r_{t+1}(1 - \tau_{t+1})} &= (1 - \beta) \Bigl[ W_t (1 - \tau_t) - \delta_{yt} - \frac{\delta_{ot}}{1 + r_{t+1}(1 - \tau_{t+1})} \Bigr].
\end{aligned}
$$

TLDR: Replace 0 in $C_{0,t+1}$ with o. So it should be $C_{o,t+1}$

  • Improve reading and flow of the lecture
  • Make sure lecture follows Quantecon style guidelines
  • Convert the lecture to JAX
