% As for the conditional welfare, the second-order formula above is still valid, but the derivatives of W no longer contain any second-order derivatives of the policy and transition functions h and g.
% In the deterministic case, resorting to approximations for welfare is no longer required as it is possible to simulate the model given initial conditions for pre-determined variables and terminal conditions for forward-looking variables, whether these initial and terminal conditions are explicitly or implicitly specified. Assuming that the number of simulated periods is high enough for the new steady-state to be reached, the new unconditional welfare is thus the last period's welfare. As for the conditional welfare, it can be derived using backward recursions on the equation W = U + beta*W(+1) starting from the final unconditional steady-state welfare.
