We consider the following maximization problem with log utility function
![]()
subject to ![]()
in aggregate variables as in 0515.
Suppose Lt=1 all the time for simplicity. In addition, we have
![]()
and
![]()
where
and
are error terms
with mean zero.
On the background, we assume
![]()
![]()
when ![]()
The Bellman equation with expectation is
We firstly set a feasible policy function as
for
.
Then, we can have
![]()
We also have
![]()
due to the same kind of process mentioned before.
The Bellman equation between the first two period is
![]()
![]()
FOC w.r.t. Kf is
![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus
![]()
that we we want and it is the same as what we got in 0515.
The detailed calculation of initial value function is as follows:
![]()

Here,
![]()

starting from
and
when t=1.
