/*
 * An elementary RBC model (same as perfect_foresight_rbc.mod), simulated in perfect 
 * foresight with expectation errors: agents behave as under perfect foresight, but they
 * can still be surprised by unexpected shocks, and thus recompute their
 * optimal plans when such an unexpected shock happens.
 *
 * - initval, followed by the steady command, is used to set the initial and terminal
 *      condition for the simulation conditional on the provided value for TFP
        z for period 1.
 * - a shocks-block sets a one-time TFP shock in the first period
 * - shocks(learnt_in = period) blocks are used to set surprise shocks learned in later periods
 * - an endval(learnt_in = period) is used to set a permanent shock and the 
 *      associated terminal condition
 * - rplot is used to plot the simulation results
