\section*{Changelog}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Version 1.0.1:} Rearranged first equation in exercise 2.2, because the conditional expectation operator is not correctly applied \emph{mathematically}.
Old equation:
\begin{align*}
E_t\left[ \frac{C_{i,t+1}}{C_{i,t}} \right] = \beta E_t\left[1-\delta + R_{t+1}\right]
\end{align*}
Corrected equation:
\begin{align*}
1 = \beta E_t\left[ \frac{C_{i,t}}{C_{i,t+1}} \left(1-\delta + R_{t+1}\right)\right]
\end{align*}
This has no effect on the underlying codes, as Dynare automatically puts all terms on one side of the equation and then applies the conditional expectation operator.
\end{itemize}
