Accuracy of numerical solutions using the eulers equation residuals

In this paper we derive sorne asymptotic properties on the accuracy of numerical solutions. We sIlow tIlat the approximation error of the policy function is of the same order of magnitude as the size of the Euler equation residuals. Moreover, for bounding this approximation error tIle most relevant parameters are the discount factor and the curvature of the return function. These findings provide theoretical foundations for the construction of tests that can assess the performance of alternative computational methods
