Let Xo, X₁,... be the Markov chain on state space {1,2,3,4} with transition matrix (1/2 1/2 0 0 1/7 0 3/7 3/7 0 1/3 1/3 1/3 0 2/3 1/6 1/6, (b) Find the limiting distribution for this Markov chain. For the final two parts of this question, assume that this Markov chain is a model¹ of a country's economy. State 1 represents being 'in recession' and other states represent other broad categories of behaviour such as 'growing slowly'. The X, (for i Є N) represent the state the economy is in during the ith month after we started observing it. Give an interpretation of what the first entry of the distribution you found in part (b) tells you based on the definition of a limiting distribution. Your answer should be written for a non-mathematician and should consist of between 1 and 3 complete sentences without mathematical symbols or terminology.
