- In the intertemporal choice model (C0 and C1 ) an individual is endowed with only future goods and no current goods. A drop in the real interest rate would cause the budget line to ______and move______. a. steepen, downward b. steepen, upward c. flatten, downward d. flatten, upward e. keep a constant slope, upward Note : I know the correct answer is D) but PLEASE DRAW A PICTURE TO HELP EXPLAIN THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION!!!!Consider an economy in which there is one consumer born at the start of each time period. Each consumer lives for two periods and receives an endowment of 1 unit of the consumption good when young. At the start of the economy there is a consumer who is already old. This consumer owns one unit of money but has no endowment of the consumption good. Money has no intrinsic value. a. Can money be valuable in a finite economy (one that has a known end point)? b. Can money be valuable in an infinite economy? c. Can money allow exigency to be attained?I need you to solve this question as soon as possible Suppose that Parliament increases taxes to pay more social benefits to elderlypeople. Assume that the increases will last for one year only. a. How do you suppose this change would affect the economy? Does your answer depend on whether generations are altruisticallylinked?
- QUESTION 1An individual lives for two periods and decides how much to consume in each period.- In the first period his consumption equals C1 and his income Y1 = 200- In the second period his consumption equals C2 and his income Y2 = 100He can save or borrow money in the first period to finance his consumption in the second period.The interest rate he gets in case he saves or has to pay in case he borrows money equals 7%.Determine the budget constraint of this individual. C2 = −0.935·C1 +314C2 =−1.07·C1 +314C2 =−0.8·C1 +314C2 =−1.08·C1 +314 QUESTION 2The total production of a good y is determined by the production function y = 3L2/3K1/3, where L is labour input and K capital input.The reward (factor prices) for labour and capital are, l = 27 en r = 2, respectively.The producer needs to produce 9000 units of good y.How much units of labour will he hire if he wants to miminize his total costs? 1587,4839,953000515,23 QUESTION 3A good is traded on a perfectly competitive…In the two-period Fisher model of consumption, suppose that the first period income is $5,000 and the second period income is $5,000 for both Matt and Paola. The interest rate is 10 percent. Matt’s lifetime utility function is C1 + C2 while Paola’s lifetime utility function is C1 + 0.8C2. If there is a borrowing constraint, whose consumption is affected by that?Consider the two-period endowment model discussed in class where theeconomy is populated by m consumers and a government. The agents derive utilityfrom consumption in current and future period. The utility is well behaved. Supposethat the government, instead of borrowing in the current period, runs a governmentloan program. That is, loans are made to consumers at the market real interest rater, with the aggregate quantity of loans made in the current period denoted by L.Government loans are financed by lump-sum taxes on consumers in the current period(denoted by T), and we assume that government spending is zero in the current andfuture periods (i.e., G = G0 = 0). In the future period, when the government loansare repaid by consumers, the government rebates this amount as lump-sum transfers(negative taxes) to consumers. Hence, if we call T r0the lump sum transfers in thefuture period, then T r0 = −T0 > 0.(a) Write down the government’s current period budget constraint andits future…
- ***PLEASE READ THE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY - EACH HAS MULTIPLE REQUIREMENTS*** Given: Barbara has an income of $2000 this year, and she expects an income of $1100 next year. She can borrow and lend money at an interest rate of 10%. Consumption goods cost $1 per unit this year and there is no inflation. a. Suppose that Barbara’s utility function is U=C1C2 where the marginal rate of substitution is −?2/?1. Sketch the indifference curve and find the tangent point. How much will Barbara consume in each period? Will she borrow or save in the first period? b. If the interest rate went up to 20%: Will she save or borrow? How does the amount compare to your answer in part a?Keynes believed equilibrium income was: Multiple Choice not fixed at the economy's potential income. fixed at the economy's potential income. always below the economy's potential income. always above the economy's potential income.How does savings change with changes in y2? Provide some intuition behind this result.
- Consider an economy with two periods (interpreted as “when young” and “when old” periods)and two consumers, Gillian Davis and Joana Wolinsky. Gillian is a star ballet dancer with a lifetime income given by ωG= (400,0). Joana is an Econ Ph.D. student with incomeωJ= (0,400). Gillian and Joana have identical utility functions given by Ui(x1,x2) = 6 lnx1+ 3 lnx2 for i=G, J a) Plot an Edgeworth box and mark the initial endowment point. b) Write the general definition of Pareto efficient allocation (one sentence) and give the equivalent condition in terms of MRS (give formula). Check if this condition is satisfied for initial endowments. c) Derive the contract curve (write down the appropriate conditions and solve for the curve) and depict it in the Edgeworth box. d) Suppose Gillian and Joana can “trade” consumption in both periods at pricesp1,p2. Find the competitive equilibrium (6 numbers) and depict the equilibrium allocation in the Edgeworth box. e) Using the MRS condition from part b),…The US government announced on October 14th, 2020 that Social Security checks for all US seniors will rise by 5.8% in 2022, the largest increase since 2008. This cost of living adjustment (COLA) is based on the Consumer Price Index measure of inflation in 2021. a). Show with a graph and a model how, in theory, giving seniors the full 5.8% increase will actually make a representative senior better off in 2022 as compared to 2021. If lifespan projections are roughly correct, it is expected that our 52 million current seniors over age 65 is expected to rise by 60% over the next 25 years to about 80 million seniors. Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security are currently 12% of GDP, but expected to rise to 17% of GDP by year 2044.b). Could this enormous increase in spending on seniors have an effect on either US market efficiency or productivity in as we move toward the year 2044?What is meant by “excess sensitivity” of consumption? Is this view of consumption consistent with the permanent-income hypothesis? Explain. How does the stock market affect consumption according to the permanent-income hypothesis? Is this prediction in line with the empirical evidence? Explain.
