Abstract

Neste artigo descrevemos os métodos clássicos utilizados para resolver as equações de Euler. Dedicamos atenção especial ao método iterativo construído a partir dessas equações, descrito em Maldonado and Moreira (2003). Isto é feito com o intuito de testar a sua robustez em modelos que apresentam sensibilidade às condições iniciais e, finalmente, estender o método para o caso de equações de Euler estocásticas.
