Abstract

This note describes a general procedure for solving for the steady state and the dynamics implied by the Ramsey equilibrium of medium-scale macroeconomic models. The procedure yields an exact numerical solution for the steady state and second-order accurate dynamics. It introduces a novel projection-based approach to calculating exact solutions to the steady state of Ramsey equilibria.
