We propose and compare new global solution algorithms for continuous time heterogeneous agent economies with aggregate shocks. First, we approximate the agent distribution so that equilibrium in the economy can be characterized by a high, but finite, dimensional non-linear partial differential equation. We consider different approximations: discretizing the number of agents, discretizing the agent state variables, and projecting the distribution onto a finite set of basis functions. Second, we represent the value function using a neural network and train it to solve the differential equation using deep learning tools. We refer to the solution as an Economic Model Informed Neural Network (EMINN). The main advantage of this technique is that it allows us to find global solutions to high dimensional, non-linear problems. We demonstrate our algorithm by solving important models in the macroeconomics and spatial literatures (e.g. Krusell and Smith (1998), Khan and Thomas (2007), Bilal (2023)).

  1. Mastering Stochastic OLG Models in Continuous Time

    econ.GN 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper computes continuous-time OLG equilibria with aggregate risk by feeding a compressed wealth distribution into a neural net that outputs finite-difference grid values of the value function.

  2. Automation, Income Incidence, and Capital Accumulation in Incomplete Markets

    econ.GN 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Automation can be privately optimal yet socially excessive when it hits high-MPC low-wealth households hard and ownership is concentrated, because firms ignore the resulting drop in aggregate consumption demand.

  3. Continuous-Time Heterogeneous Agent Models with Recursive Utility and Preference for Late Resolution

    math.OC 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Existence of equilibrium interest rates is established for continuous-time heterogeneous-agent models with Epstein–Zin utility under late-resolution preferences (γψ<1).

  4. Faithful Decoding

    econ.GN 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Fixed-point solutions can be transferred exactly between a high-dimensional problem S=D∘E and a transformed low-dimensional problem T=E∘D, enabling exact dimensionality reduction and debiased stochastic approximation.
