Solves a simple AK-OLG-model for closed economy in Julia
Shows how to solve a simple deterministic overlapping-generations model (OLG) of Auerbauch-Kotlikoff type, solving for the transition path between two steady-states. The code uses global variables. Cohorts can be computed in parallel.
A model description can be found here: https://github.com/solveCGE/solveOLG_doc.
Parameters can be set in calib.jl. Policy shocks are defined in run_sim.jl (or just uncomment some of the predefined exemplary shocks). The model is then solved by just running run.jl:
julia -t4 run.jlfrom the terminal or in the Julia REPL (julia -t4)
include("run.jl")The number of threads has to be specified when calling Julia using the -t flag (i.e. the code above uses 4 threads). Running run_sim.jl twice allows taking time without precompilation.
