ogcore.firm.get_w_from_r(r, p, method, m=-1)[source]#

Solve for a wage rate from a given interest rate. N.B. this is only appropriate if the production function only uses capital and labor as inputs. As such, this is not used for determining the domestic wage rate due to the presense of public capital in the production function. It is used only to determine the wage rate that affects the open economy demand for capital.

\[w = (1-\gamma)^\frac{1}{\varepsilon}Z\left[(\gamma)^\frac{1} {\varepsilon}\left(\frac{(1-\gamma)^\frac{1}{\varepsilon}} {\left[\frac{r + \delta - \tau^{corp}\delta^\tau}{(1 - \tau^{corp}) \gamma^\frac{1}{\varepsilon}Z}\right]^{\varepsilon-1} - \gamma^\frac{1}{\varepsilon}}\right) + (1-\gamma)^\frac{1}{\varepsilon}\right]^\frac{1}{\varepsilon-1}\]

  • r (array_like) – the real interest rate

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

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

Return type:
