摘要
This paper presents a technique for qualitative comparative statics analysis in dynamic programming models. Let the value function υ be the fixed point of a contraction mapping which depends differentiably on some exogenous parameter θ. Ten the derivative of υ with respect to θ exists and is also the fixed point of a contraction mapping. Since this derivative is the fixed point of a contraction mapping, its qualitative properties can be investigated using mathematical induction. This comparative statics methodology is illustrated with an application to a model of job search. © 1991.
