@rickecon This is correct - the documentation is out of step with the code here. When adding pension receipts to the household budget, I would suggest adding a general `pension`...

@rickecon Thanks for opening this issue. I think there are several things going on and I want to try to separate them. I'd break them out as: 1. Issues with...

Focusing on cached files for regression tests, I have the following thoughts: * Rather than the pickle files with dictionaries of SS and TPI data, we can store these in...

I started working on this and with (1), you have to be more careful with the transition path than the SS because the reform path needs to converge to the...

@rickecon I think the monotonicity is important for ETRs as well because they indirectly enter the FOCs through the budget constraint. I can see issues with having a non-convex budget...

In addition to the choice of functional form, others, such as @jpycroft and @benrpage1, have noted the following considerations in the estimation: 1. The statistical objective function and distance norm...

Try solution algorithm where guess r and Y_m in outer loop.

And when move to dynamic firms, try guessing r and V_m in outer loop.

Also, use Functional Iteration method as described in [McGrattan and Prescott (2016)](https://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/sr/sr473.pdf). Will iterate over the market clearing conditions in order to converge on equilibrium factor prices.

This is also happening on Travis CI after we have started using a Dask client in the unit tests. I've seen it twice now - both failures were on Python...
