%% OLG Model 6: Stochastic OLG Model
% Add idiosyncratic shocks, so we now have an incomplete markets OLG model.
% We introduce z and e. z is a (log) AR(1) process with age-dependent parameters, which is
% an idiosyncratic shock to 'hourly-earnings' (technically, earnings per
% unit of time, our model does not contain a concept of 'hours'). e is an
% iid (log) normal shock to hourly-earnings.
%% Begin setting up to use VFI Toolkit to solve
% Lets model agents from age 20 to age 100, so 81 periods
Params.agejshifter=19; % Age 20 minus one. Makes keeping track of actual age easy in terms of model age
Params.J=100-Params.agejshifter; % =81, Number of period in life-cycle
