 OG-Core is an overlapping-generations (OG) model core theory, logic, and solution method algorithms that allow for dynamic general equilibrium analysis of fiscal policy. OG-Core provides a general framework and is a dependency of several country-specific OG models, such as [OG-USA](https://github.com/PSLmodels/OG-USA) and [OG-UK](https://github.com/PSLmodels/OG-UK). The model output includes changes in macroeconomic aggregates (GDP, investment, consumption), wages, interest rates, and the stream of tax revenues over time. Regularly updated documentation of the model theory--its output, and solution method--and the Python API is available [here](https://pslmodels.github.io/OG-Core).
