Computing the Distributions of Economic Models Via Simulation By John Stachurski

Computing the Distributions of Economic Models Via Simulation

By:	John Stachurski (Department of Economics, University of Melbourne)
Abstract:	This paper studies a Monte Carlo algorithm for computing distributions of state variables when the underlying model is a Markov process. It is shown that the L1 error of the estimator always converges to zero with probability one, and often at a parametric rate. A related technique for computing stationary distributions is also investigated.
Keywords:	Distributions, Markov processes, simulation.
