Data and Code for: When Interest Rates Go Low, Should Public Debt Go High?

The data and code in this replication package reproduce all tables, figures, and all numbers that appear in the text in our manuscript "When Interest Rates Go Low, Should Public Debt Go High?". The package consists of two parts. The first part numerically solves the OLG models presented in Section 3 through 5 and generates all of the 10 figures, 6 tables as well as calibrated structural parameters in the paper using Matlab. The second part employs three data sources to compute the calibration targets in Section 5 in the paper using R. The replicator should run each part separately, with the first taking approximately 4-5 hours on an 8-core CPU and the second less than 1 minute.
