This algorithm can, in principle, approximate the true equilibrium arbitrarily well. Also, this algorithm works from the Euler equations, so that the equilibrium does not have to be cast in the form of a planner's problem. Monte--Carlo integration and the absence of grids on the state variables, cause the computation costs not to go up exponentially when the number of state variables or the exogenous shocks in the economy increase. \\ As an application we analyze an asset pricing model with endogenous production. We analyze its implications for time dependence of volatility of stock returns and the term structure of interest rates. We argue that this model can generate hump--shaped term structures.application/pdfengL'accés als continguts d'aquest document queda condicionat a l'acceptació de les condicions d'ús establertes per la següent llicència Creative Commonsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperMacroeconomics and International Economicsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
