(* builds on the nkmodellogint.m from the RSS St. Louis Fed conference paper, with the following modifications: 1. put interest rate rule in terms of output gap rather than output growth 2. modify the consol to give it a duration of 10 yrs instead of 25 yrs 3. adjust parameter values to get steady-state ratios roughly calibrated to US data 4. introduce an adjustment cost parameter psi that we'll set to 0 here but play around with later.
