Consistent notation and terminology across files #39

I think files should use consistent notation and terminology across files to denote goods, firms and factors.

In aggregates.py, j refers to both industries and goods in different equations. But i is also used to denote both goods and commodities.

In firms.py, h denotes factors of production j denotes goods and i denotes both commodities and intermediate inputs.

The Hashimoto book uses i to index goods, j to index firms and h to index factors.

Is this the format we want to follow? I think it seems reasonable.

What notation do we want for industries? Currently we use j to refer to both firms and industries?

I can work on cleaning and standardizing the notation if that would be helpful.

@duncanhobbs Making this notation consistent would be very helpful.

j can be used for industry, which I think is the same as firm here - there being only one firm per industry.

Following the notation in Hashimoto is a good idea.
