FiPIt: A Simple, Fast Global Method for Solving Models with Two Endogenous States & Occasionally Binding Constraints

Enrique Mendoza and Sergio Villalvazo

Review of Economic Dynamics, 2020, vol. 37, 81-102

Abstract: We propose a simple and fast fixed-point iteration algorithm (FiPIt) to obtain the global, non-linear solution of macro models with two endogenous state variables and occasionally binding constraints. This method uses fixed-point iteration on Euler equations to avoid solving two simultaneous non-linear equations (as with the time iteration method) or creating modified state variables requiring irregular interpolation (as with the endogenous grids method). In the small-open-economy RBC and Sudden Stops models provided as examples, FiPIt is much faster than time iteration and various hybrid methods. (Copyright: Elsevier)
