(a) Suppose an unexpected typhoon destroys cotton crops in India. This causes a downward revision in the expected global cotton production in 2022. Assuming all else equal, will demand for storage of cotton in 2021 (St) increase, decrease or stay the same? Draw a graph of the demand for storage to support your answer.
(b) Using the same scenario from (a), do you expect the cotton market to still in contango, inverted, or could it be either contango or inverted? Draw a graph of supply and demand for storage to support your answer.
Hi there, I need help solving a problem and am unsure how to go about solving the question. It is a practive question from a textbook and am trying to understand it further. I need a bit more help solving 1 a) and b). I have already obtained the values of the expected return at t = 0 and the expected utilities at t = 0 for both scenarios (direct investing) and (depositing with the bank). Thanks
Here is the question:
Consider the basic setup of the Diamond-Dybvig (1983) model. Specifically, thereare three periods, denoted t = 0, 1, 2, a single consumption good, and an illiquidinvestment opportunity that pays gross return 1.1 if liquidated at t = 1, or grossreturn 2.2 if liquidated at t = 2.
There are 30 people in the economy, each endowed with 1 unit of the consumptiongood at t = 0. At t = 1, exactly 11 will randomly realize that they need to consumeat t = 1 (the early consumers), the remaining 19 people will need to consume at t = 2(the late consumers). The utility derived from…

- When analyzing how borrowing and lending affect the consumer's budget constraint, we measure spending in the current time period on the horizontal axis and spending in the future time period on the vertical axis. Assume that the interest rate at which the consumer can lend and borrow is 10%, income in period 1 is $1000 and income in period 2 is $1200. The point of maximum current consumption can be expressed as 1000+ 1200/1.1. 1000(1.1) + 1200. 1000+ 1200 + .1 1000/1.1 + 1200/1.1 + 1.arrow_forwardSuppose 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?
