(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. State the variables withrespect to which the social planner maximises.(b) (10 points) Derive the first order conditions to the planner problem. Rearrangethere condition to find the conditions characterising the…

Question: Suppose that the marginal cost of extracting a non-renewable natural resource is MXC(Q) = 10 and the marginal beneÖt of using the resource are MB(Q) = 90Q. In the context of a static model, address the following question: Calculate the efficient value of Q if the total stock of the natural resource is Q = 50: Provide a graphical representation of the solution. My Note: This is my first time resubmitting, I was told to confirm that MXC(Q) =10 is the correct form of the Marginal cost of extraction to answer this question correctly. I'm not sure but this is the way my professor asked his question.

What is the ans for PURE specific and the ans for MIXED specific. Pls give explanations for the differences between these two models. (p/s this is the 3rd time I'm asking this question bcos your team did not answer my question of Pure AND Mixed but just specific factors model in general) PLEASE HELP ME THANKSSSS In the Pure Specific Factors model with two sectors, Cars (C) and Wheat (W), Capital (K) is specific to C and Land (A) is specific to W. If the government imposes a tariff on the imports of W then... In the Mixed Specific Factors model with two sectors, Cars (C) and Wheat (W), Capital (K) is specific to C and Land (A) is specific to W.
