Abstract
The working hypothesis is that extant numerical algorithms for solving dynamic economic models can be significantly accelerated. These algorithms use expansion of value functions and expressing the value functions and/or policy functions in terms of neural networks can accelerate policy functions in terms of orthogonal or complete polynomials. The core of the problem with computing numerical solutions to dynamic economic models is the so-called “curse of dimensionality”, which exhibits itself in the rapid growth of time and computer memory, which are needed to solve dynamic economic models. This growth is exponential in the number of state variables, which describe the state of a given economic system. It follows that faster algorithms should be developed, which will expand the space of those dynamic economic models, which can be analysed and studied by researchers.
