In a two-period model, an individual earns and consumes C1 in period 1 and only consumes C2 in period 2. Suppose the saving interest rate is 3.3% and the income in period 1 is $4,500. Assuming consumption smoothing, the consumption (C1 or C2) for period 1 and period 2 should be $ A .

Q1. Consider the following two-period model of consumption and saving: Utility = C1^0.5 + B*C2^0.5 C1 + C2/(1+r) = Y1 + Y2/(1+r) where Y1 = 4, Y2 = 1, r = 0.17 and B = 0.5. Find a numerical solution for period 1 consumption, C1. (State your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Suppose that a consumer/investor has an initial endowment only for the current period, which is Eo =450. She may consume today or in the next period only (two-period model). The interest rate for borrowing and lending in the capital market is 5% (a)Depict the budget constraint for the investor in an inter-temporal consumption diagram! What is the maximum amount the consumer is able to consume in the next period? (b)The consumption preferences of the consumer/investor are best described by a square root function, defined over current and future consumption. What is his optimal consumption plan? Show your calculations! Depict the results in appropriate diagram. Which amount is invested in the capital market?
There are some simplifying assumptions in order to generate simple expressions. One of these assumptions is that r (interest rate) = ρ (rate at which household discounts future). Suppose we relaxed this assumption (i.e. allowed r to differ from ρ). Two results of the model are: i) The household keeps the expected value of consumption constant over time. ii) The household responds differently to permanent versus temporary income changes. Discuss the implications of allowing r to differ from ρ on each of these results
Consider an economy where individuals live for two periods only. Their utility function over consumption in periods 1 and 2 is given by U = 2 log(C1) + 2 log(C2), where C1 and C2 are period 1 and period 2 consumption levels respectively. They have labor income of $100 in period 1 and labor income of $50 in period 2. They can save as much of their income in period 1 as they like in bank accounts, earning interest rate of 5 percent per period. They have no bequest motive, so they spend all their income before the end of period 2. a. What is each individual’s lifetime budget constraint? If they choose consumption in each period so as to maximize their lifetime utility subject to their lifetime budget constraint, what is the optimal consumption in each period? How much do the consumers save in the first period? b. Suppose that the government introduces a social security system that will take $10 from each individual in period 1, put it in a bank account, and transfer it back to…
“According to the Random-Walk Hypothesis of Consumption under Uncertainty, individuals don’t need to optimise their consumption over time since the consumption is totally unpredictable” True or False?
According to the basic discounting principle, individuals value current consumption (i.e. consumption now) more than future consumption (i.e. consumption tomorrow). A) True B) False
According to Irving Fisher’s two period model, if the consumers face borrowing constraint, the first-period consumption cannot exceed first-period income True False

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?.
