ogcore.aggregates.get_B(b, p, method, preTP)

Calculate aggregate savings

\[B_{t} = \sum_{s=E}^{E+S}\sum_{j=0}^{J}\omega_{s,t}\lambda_{j}b_{j,s,t}\]

• b (Numpy array) – savings of households

• p (OG-Core Specifications object) – model parameters

• method (str) – adjusts calculation dimensions based on ‘SS’ or ‘TPI’

• preTP (bool) – whether calculation is for the pre-time path period amount of savings. If True, then need to use omega_S_preTP.

Returns:

aggregate supply of savings

Return type:

B (array_like)

ogcore.aggregates.get_BQ(r, b_splus1, j, p, method, preTP)

Calculation of aggregate bequests. If use_zeta is False, then computes aggregate bequests within each lifetime income group.

aggregate bequests, overall or by lifetime

income group, depending on use_zeta value.

Return type:

BQ (array_like)
