# OBC-multiple-equilibria
This repository provides documents and codes for simulating multiple equilibria in otherwise-linear perfect foresight models with occasionally-binding constraints. The algorithm is an extension of Guerrieri and Iacoviello (2015,JME) and we utilise some results from Holden (2023,ReStat). A description of the codes and user instructions are provided below. It is convenient to view the file using e.g. MS Word.

NOTE: The bounded variable is assumed to be ordered first in the vector of variables x(t) (see paper) and exogenous variables are assumed to be ordered last in x(t).
