3 Supply side (weight 5%) An economy is populated by a representative household with the following preferences: u(c) +v(1), where consumption is c and I is leisure. The household has 1 unit of time so its budget is c=w(1-1)-T, where w is the wage rate and r is a tax that the government collects. Notice that is a lump-sum tax, not an income tax: the household must pay the same amount regardless of how much income it earns. S 9/2 I 9/1 Figure 1: Consumption across two periods
