#***********************************************************************************

#' Overview of the simplified modeling approach:
#' 
#' 1. GDP (quarterly, core variable):
#'    - Markov-switching model (AR or RW-drift)
#'    - Transition matrix that determines regime-switching behavior
#'    - Regime-dependent mean/std/parameters
#'         - mean/std based on NBER definition
#'         - mean/std based on stock MS model
#'         - mean/std based on GDP   MS model
#'    - Simulated regimes and paths of GDP growth
#' 2. Total stock returns (for now, we may want to model ERP later in order to incorporate inflation)
#'    - Markov-switching model: RW-drift
#'    - Return regimes are highly aligned with GDP regimes
#'    - For simulation: different mean return and std in GDP different GDP regimes
#' 3. Total cbond returns 
#'    - Show regime-switching behavior, but very different from those for GDP and stock returns.
#'       - high return and high volatility regime 
#'       - low return and low volatility regime
#'       - May not be pure random walk within regimes, may need to model MSAR process. 
#'    - Correlation with stock changes wildly over time, with no obivous pattern. 
#'    - Simulation stragegy:
#'       - 1. modeled and simulated as a seperate MS-AR/DR process, calibrate 
#'            correlation with stock to historical value/assumed value by setting
#'            the correlation between error terms of stock model and bond model.
#'       - 2. 
#' 4. Return of Portfolio
#'    - Construct portfolio returns   
#

#' Summary  
#' 
#' - Simulated quarterly returns
#'    - Simulated mean and annual returns are reasonable and generally consistent with historical data
#'    - Skewness and kurtosis are still much smaller than historical  
#'    - Compare to normal: 
#'    
#'    
#' - Simulated annual returns
#'    - Simulated mean annual return and standard deviation looks reasonable
#'    - Kurtosis of historical kurtosis is surprisingly low 
#'    - compare to normal"
#'    
#' - Note: 
#'    - qarterly returns non-normal and fat tail
#'    - It seems that annual returns are normal?
