Welfare Assessments with Heterogeneous Individuals
This project provides a general framework to make welfare assessments in dynamic stochastic environments when individuals are heterogeneous. I am currently building a user guide to further develop and explain this framework. The RA in this project will assist the researchers by solving and simulating several models to illustrate how to make welfare assessments. The RA will also assist the researchers by reading and summarizing some related literature.
