I would like to know if there is an elegant way to develop a model as :

$$ \begin{array}{l} C_t=cY_{t-1}+C_0,\ I_t= I_0 + \gamma (C_t - C_{t-1}), \ Y_t=C_t+I_t \end{array} $$

to obtain a resursive equation in $Y_t$ which can be put in a natural format to be solved by rsolve(). I can do it in a brute force way. The problem is to cope with the time index.

My problem is the following

Y = Function('Y')
C = Function('C')
I = Function('I')
C(t)=c*Y(t-1)+C_0
I(t)= I_0 - γ* (C(t) - C(t-1))
Y(t)=C(t)-I(t)
A(t)=C(t)-C(t-1)
show(A(t))

Until there no problems. But I do not know you to substite the value of A(t) in I(t)

By a couple of substitutions: $$C_t = c(C_{t-1} + I_0 + \gamma(C_{t-1} - C_{t-2})) + C_0$$ $$=c(1+\gamma)C_{t-1} - c\gamma C_{t-2} + cI_0 + C_0,$$ which then translates into that for $Y$: $$Y_t = c(1+\gamma)Y_{t-1} - c\gamma Y_{t-2} + C_0+I_0.$$ Is this what you want?

Yes. My problem is to cope with the indexes from the begining .

Max I do not understand this type of answer. I am perfectly able to write the solution on a paper. What I cannot do is to ask sagemath to do it for me.

If you need to solve one particular equation, then there is nothing wrong in using some paper. If it's not a single equation, then formulate your general problem and we'll see how sagemath can step in.
