Lecture notes.

More lecture notes. These describe a particular sticky price model, and indicate the basic Klein-Krusell-Rios Rull strategy for finding a differentiable Markov equilibrium for that model. The basic model is described here and the equations needed for the details of the strategy are discussed in section 3.1 of that paper. That section is actually devoted to describing a global nonlinear strategy for finding a differentiable Markov equilibrium. The equations derived for that purpose in section 3.1 are straightforward to adapt so that they can used to implement the Klein-Krusell-Rios-Rull perturbation strategy.
