- Kevin's reference dependent utility over money is y and effort is E, refer to the: instantaneous utility function: rt: reference point for wealth, which demonstrated his recent wealth Kevin does not have from money but from gains and losses of money instead. There is no discounting, and assume that Kevin's current wealth from his job is 0. Kevin is thinking about a new role at work which allows him to increase his income by $1000 per period for two periods, counting from the current period, which is t = 0. He must undergo a training which require an effort of EO = 3500 at that value of alpha, how much ultility would Kevin lose relative to his non-projection-biased preferences if she took the position 1000 250 500 750Josh is playing blackjack for real money. He has reference-dependent preferences over money: if his earnings are m and his reference point is r, then his utility is v(m − r), where the value function v satisfies v(x) = ln(x + 1) for x ≥ 0, and v(x) = −2 ln(−x + 1) for x ≤ 0. assume that Josh’s reference point is 0 Euro (that is, no wins or losses) and for the given situation, answer the following questions: (i) What is the g for which Josh would be indifferent between taking a fifty-fifty win g Euro or lose 5 Euro gamble? (ii) Does this reflect risk loving or risk averse behavior? (iii) What feature of Josh’s reference-dependent preferences is driving this choice?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
- What are the critical assumptions that lead to the paradox of thrift (POT)? Use the I=S relationship to explain the POT “intuitively.”Under the Theory of Storage, the convenience yield is: a. typically low when the supply of a commodity is scarce b. not affected by the supply of a commodity c. typically high when the supply of a commodity is scarceSuppose the cotton (a storable commodity) futures prices are currently Expiry Month Price c/lb December 2021 83 December 2022 96 (a) Is the cotton market in contango or in backwardation? (b) What is the slope of the futures curve for cotton? Draw a future curve graph to support your answer. (c) Are there positive returns to storage between Dec 21 and Dec 22? Draw a graph of supply and demand for storage to support your answer (where t=Dec 21 and t+1=Dec 22).
- Refer to Figure 3-2. A decrease in the expected future price of the product would be represented by a movement from A)A to B. B) B to A. C) S1 to S2. D) S2 to S1.What diagrams should I use in the question "Explain the consumption duality to derive Marshallian and Hicksian demand curves. Discuss why this is important for neoclassical microeconomic theory." and how should i explain themDescribe the role of pricing during periods of inflation and recession
