1. How much is $1 million to be delivered 20 years in the future worth today if the interest rate is 20 percent? 2. As the interest rate rises, does the intertemporal budget constraint become steeper or flatter? 3. Would the assumption that goods are perfect substitutes be valid in a study of intertemporal food purchases?
Suppose that the economy of country 1 is characterized by the following behavioral equations: Variable Equation Consumption C=1234 +0.5 YD Investments I=1000 + 0.1 Y Government expenditures G= 100 Net exports Nx= 300-0.2 Y Where Y denotes the real GDP and YD denotes the disposable income (YD= Y-T). Suppose that the output gap in country is measured as -15000. What should be increase in government expenditure in order to close the gap and make the economy to reach its potential level of GDP?.
Sales are a function of advertising in newspapers and magazines (X, Y). 05 S = XY2 Price of advertising in newspapers and magazines are Rs.5 and Rs.10 respectively. The total budget for advertising is Rs.105. For maximizing the sales, find out the best combination of advertisement in newspapers and magazines by using lagrangian multiplier. (Hint: Make equation of budget line with the help of above information).
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.
Another important aspect of Tourism Economics is the multiplier effect, which refers to the additional economic activity generated by tourism spending. When tourists spend money in a destination, it circulates through the local economy, benefiting not just the direct recipients of this spending but also other businesses and their employees. For example, tourists spending money in local restaurants support not only the restaurant staff but also local suppliers and their workers. The multiplier effect in Tourism Economics is essential because it: A) Reduces overall economic activity B) Only benefits the tourism sector C) Generates additional economic activity beyond the initial spending D) Leads to economic stagnation
You are an economic advisor to the government. Discuss your opinion . a) How COVID-19 pandemic will affect the consumption behavior as well as the investment done by the firms and household for the next two years? b) What are the actions or policies that the government can implement to face this situation? please answers with analysis and --graph (if possible)
Consider the following consumer’s problem: max u(c1 ) + βu(c2) c1c2 subject to c1 + s1 = y1 c2 = y2 + (1 + r)s1 u(c)={1/(1-1/σ}c1-1/σ a) Describe all equations using economic terminology.b) Derive the intertemporal budget constraint for this consumer.c) Set the Langrangean for this problem.d) Find the first order conditions for a maximum.e) What is the effect of an increase in the interest rate on savings? Show in equation and explain.

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.
Price of advertising in newspapers and magazines are Rs.5 and Rs.10 respectively. The total budget for advertising is Rs.105. For maximizing the sales, find out the best combination of advertisement in newspapers and magazines by using lagrangian multiplier.
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?
Assume there are 2 people Xavier with a Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 80% and Francis with a Marginal Propensity to save (MPS) of 10%. Xavier enjoys life and has a minimum consumption of $10,000 without any income, while Francis is more modest, with a minimum consumption of $7,500 without any income. a. Demonstrate and explain the income expenditure model for Xavier and Francis on separate graphs with income ranging from 0 to $100,000 in $20,000 increments. b. Compare the minimum income levels where savings begins for Xavier and Francis. c. How does the difference in MPC affect the economies for each state? d. If the government decides to take all savings above $2,000, is this fair to Xavier? Francis? e. How might this change their behavior? How is this relevant to discussions about wealth inequality? How are individual choices relevant to wealth inequality?
