This PR reorganizes the Income Fluctuation Problem (IFP) lecture series to improve pedagogical clarity by separating content into distinct lectures of increasing complexity.
Changes
1. Split into two lectures
New Lecture III (): Simplified model without transient shocks
y(z) = exp(z)(deterministic given state)New Lecture IV (): Full model with transient shocks
y(z, η) = exp(a_y * η + z * b_y)2. Updated lecture numbering
3. Code improvements
