(a) If the interest rate differs across agents, who will value firms more, the one that face higher or the ones that face a lower rate, and why? Provide a numerical example. (b) Suppose the firms in the economy produce according to the production process described by the function az−z2, where the parameter a takes different values. If the interest rate is given by r q, which value the parameter a has to take for firms to be active? (c) Suppose that the central bank has control over r q and decides to lower the rate. Will more firms enter the market or firms will quit the market and why? Accordingly, will the optimal input z increase or decrease?

Julie lives for two periods. She works in the first, saves some of her income, and retires inthe second and lives off her savings. For every coconut she saves today, she earns an interestrate of r = 2%. Julie’s generation comprises of 1,000 people and each generation grows byn% relative to the previous one.a. In the first period Julie saves 100 coconuts for retirement. How many coconuts will shehave when she retires?b. Now suppose that the government implements a pay-as-you-go social security system,forcing every person in Julie’s generation to pay 100 coconuts to a social security fund thatwill distribute the money to the currently old. In exchange, when Julie retires each youngperson will pay 100 coconuts to the social security fund, and the revenue will be dividedequally among the future retirees. How much will be the revenue of the social securitysystem, and how many coconuts will each retiree will receive?c. What will have to be the range of values for n so that the government’s…

(50 points) Consider the two-period economy with investment discussed in class. Forthe sake of simplicity, assume that the utility is time separable and that the per-periodutility is equal to:u(C) = log CAssume also that the technology to produce the consumption goods has constant returns to scale. Moreover, capital is the only input to production. Hence the currentperiod technology can be represented as:Y = zK1where Y , K, and z stand for output, capital and total factor productivity in the currentperiod. The future period technology is akin to the current period technology. There isno government expenditure in the current and future period so that G = 0 and G0 = 0.Finally there is full capital depreciation, namely δ = 1.(a) (10 points) Write down the social planner’s problem.

Consider the market for loanable funds. Suppose the demand for loans is given by i= 40-Q+π, and the supply of loans is given by i= -30+Q+π, where π represents inflation. In the case of π=5, what is the equilbrium quantity of loans and what is the corresponsing interest rate? Q*=70, i*=45 Q*=10, i*=35 Q*=35, i*=10 Q*=45, i*=70
The Great Financial Crisis (GFC) mainly hit financing and hence theability of companies to finance investment, while the Corona crisis haspredominantly hit the labour input via the lockdown.! Calculate the impact of both crises on long-run growth assuming that thelabour share is 0.7 and the following information are given:– GFC: Growth rate of labour = 0%, Growth rate of capital= -5%, Growth rate of TFP =1%– Corona Crisis: Growth rate of labour = -5%, Growth rate of capital = 0%, Growth rateof TFP = 1%! Discuss whether and under what circumstances the lockdown will lead toa lower potential output in the long-run.! In the light of the growth accounting insights, what policies would yourecommend to revive growth after the lockdown?
