1 Errata Dynamic General Equilibrium Modelling, Springer: Berlin August 2015 Chapter 1.1 p. 9/10: Figure 1.1 was computed for the parameter values T = 59, α = 0.50, and ρ = 0.35 and not as stated on p.9 for α = 0.35 and ρ = 0.5. Chapter 1.2 p. 15: equation (1.13 should be v(k = max 0 K f(k u(f(k K +βv(k. p. 30: the Lagrangian should be L = β [u(c t t +λ t (f(k t C t K t+1 t=0 +µ t C t +ω t+1 K t+1 ]. Chapter 1.3 p. 36: The derivative of L with respect to K 1 should be: Chapter 1.4 L K 1 = E 0 { λ 0 +ω 1 +βλ 1 (1 δ +Z 1 f (K 1 } = 0, p. 59: in equation (1.43 the index of r is missing. Thus, this equation should read: K t+1 K t w t N t +(r t δk t C t. p. 63:] the exponent in the second equation from the top of the page is not η but +η. Thus, the equation should be 0 = (Z s+1 t N 1 α Z s t N 1 α ( 1 Nt+s 1 N t+s+1 t+s+1k α t+s+1 +(1 δk t+s+1 ak t+s+2 t+s kt+s α +(1 δk t+s ak t+s+1 θ(1 η ( βa η η 1 δ +αz s+1 t Nt+s+1k 1 α t+s+1 α 1. 1

Here is the correct Figure: Figure 7.11: Impulse responses in the OLG model Chapter 8.2 p. 431: In the definition of orthogonal polynomials, equation (8.30, the statement if and only if refers to the case i j only, i.e., there is no special requirement for the case i = j (except in the definition of orthonormal polynomials. In equation (8.33, the second line on the right of the brace should read: π if i = j 0. 2 p. 435: equation (8.44, the upper summation index must be m instead of n and i,j < m Chapter 8.3 p. 445: the first equation on this page should be f( x+h f( x h = 2f (1 ( xh+ ( f (3 (ξ 1 +f (3 (ξ 2 h 3 6. p. 450: the next to last equation should be E(f(z := (2πσ 2 1/2 f(ze [ (z µ2 /2σ 2] dz. 5
