into account (\textit{e.g.} no precautionary motive)

\item This technique numerically computes trajectories for given shocks over a
finite number of periods
\item No possibility of computing a recursive policy function (as with
perturbation methods), because
future shock paths are
state variables, and those are infinite-dimensional objects
\item However, it is possible to approximate the asymptotic return to
equilibrium with $y_{T+1}=\bar y$ and a large enough $T$
\item Resolution uses a Newton-type method on the stacked system
\item The above technique numerically computes trajectories for given shocks over a
\emph{finite} number of periods
\item Suppose you are rather interested in solving an \emph{infinite} horizon
problem
\item One option consists in computing the recursive policy function (as with
perturbation methods), but this is challenging
\begin{itemize}
\item in the general case, this function is defined over an infinite-dimensional space
(because all future shocks are state variables)
\item in the particular case of a return to equilibrium, the state-space
is finite (starting from the date where all shocks are zero), but a
projection method would still be needed
\item in any case, Dynare does not do that
\end{itemize}
\item An easier solution, in the case of a return to equilibrium, is to
approximate it by a finite horizon problem
\begin{itemize}
\item consists in computing the trajectory with $y_{T+1}=\bar y$ and $T$
large enough
\item drawback compared to the policy function approach: the
solution is specific to a given sequence of shock, and not generic
