“Permanent Income of consumption is just the average of all current and future incomes. Thus, one does not need to do the maximisation of intertemporal utility”. True or False. Discuss according to the model. Note that you need to discuss according to the model?
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 . Compute A.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.
