The following are exogenous (not directly affected by income): G = 11 I = 4 X = M = 0 The consumption function is: C = k + cY, where k = 3, c = 0.8 Now we have to take that tax into account. Here is a way to think about it: Look at the consumption function. It says if you give me one more dollar of income I will spend 80 cents of it (mpc = 0.8). BUT I can only spend what I receive. I can only spend my after-tax or disposable income. With a 10% tax, I don't receive Y I receive 90% of Y or Y*(1-t) where t = 10% or 0.1. Let's define disposable income as Yd where Yd = Y*(1-t). Therefore we restate our consumption function as C = k + cYd Now we have, in this case, C = k + cYd or C = 3 + 0.8Yd or C = 3 + 0.8*(Y*[1-0.1]) or C = 3 + 0.72Y. Now what is the equilibrium GDP?

Write down the Planner’s problem, as well as the Lagrangian. (Hint: There should be two constraints because aggregate consumption of each good cannot exceed the economy’s endowment.) Label the multipliers ϕ1 and ϕ2. What are the first order conditions of the Planner’s problem? (Hint: There should be 6.). Find the solution to the Planner’s problem and label the quantities (xpA; ypA) and (xpB; ypB). If we compare the first order conditions of the Planner’s problem to the first order conditions of a corresponding competitive equilibrium (CE), we can obtain a relationship between ϕx, ϕy, λ, px, and py so that the CE and the Planner’s problem give us the same solution. This is called decentralizing the Planner’s problem.Decentralize the Planner’s problem. (find the equilibrium prices and the value of λ so that the two problems have the same solution.) Can you relate this to the two welfare theorems?
Exercise 5 (Borrowing Constraints and Consumption Taxes). Consider a two-period economy in which households face the borrowing constraint S p 1 ≥ 0. Suppose that the constraint is binding. In period 1, the household receives an exogenous endowment of goods Y1 = 50, and the government levies a proportional tax on consumption at the rate τ1 = 0.25 and has expenditures in goods and services in the amount G1 = 2. Firms borrow in period 1 at the interest rate r and use the funds to invest in physical capital, denoted I1. Investment becomes productive in period 2. The investment schedule is I1 = 12.5 (1 + r) ^2 1. Calculate private consumption in period 1 (C1), government saving in period 1 (S g 1 ), and national saving in period 1 (S1). 2. Calculate the equilibrium real interest rate (r).

1. Use the Method of Lagrange to solve this problem. To do so, construct the La- grangean function for this problem. Use λ1 as the Lagrange multiplier attached to the period 1 budget constraint and λ2 as the Lagrange multiplier attached to the period 2 budget constraint.
In the goods market when C(Yd) = c0 + c1Yd, the multiplier is bigger when:A. The marginal propensity to consume (c1) is smaller.B. The marginal propensity to consume (c1) is larger.C. The exogenous component of consumption (c0) is larger.D. The exogenous component of consumption (c0) is smaller.E. None of the above.
True/False? Briefly explain. Assume good x is a normal good. In terms of consumer behavior, a cash grant and a small (relative to the initial consumption of x) limited non-matching grant on good x (with the limit that is equal to the cash grant) are essentially equivalent.
