Problem 1: Closed CityAssumptions of the model:The city is a circle with a radius that extends from the point 0 to the bound- ary of the city x ̄. There is a fixed population N, which we for now consider exogenous or fixed. All workers receive and income y and face a commuting cost t per mile that they drive. Workers have preferences over a compos- ite consumption good c with their utility function given by U(c) = c. All households demand a fixed quantity of land q, which is exogenously deter- mined and carries the rent r(x) per unit of land at location x. The rent at the boundary of the city is equivalent to the agricultural rent ra, that is r(x ̄) = ra All rental income is assumed to paid to absentee landlords who live outside the city. The household budget constraint is then given by y − tx = ri(x)q + c a) Make a list of your exogenous and endogenous variables. b) Solve for the urban bid-rent function.c) Solve for the remaining endogenous variables
Question4-5
Troy's utility over consumption is given by u(x)=x^0.4. If troy is unemployed, which occurs with probability 40%, his consumption is $36, If Troy is employed, his consumption is $1000 How much expected consumption is Troy willing the give up in order to get rid of the risk associated with unemployment?
Two individuals (A and B) live on an island where they consume coconuts (good x) and bananas (good y) for survival. A owns the coconut producing part of the island and B owns the banana part. Their utility functions and endowments are given by UA (TA,YA) = A+YA +min {A, YA}, UB (TB, YB) = TB +YB + min {ïß, YB}, (ww) = (0, 12) B B Assume that the price of coconuts is p and that of bananas is 1, so relative prices are denoted by p. (ww) = (10,0) A 1. What are their respective budget constraints? 2. What are their individual demand functions? (Hint: you have to consider multiple cases for the value of p) 3. The individuals trade their endowments with each other. What is the competitive equilibrium price in the market? What are their respective utilities at equilibrium?
a) A planner in a small, open economy has a utility function U = x1x2 and production takes place according to the production functions Y1 = 10L, – 0.5L? Y2 10L2 – L3 The world prices of the goods are p1 10 and P2 5. The total amount of labour available in the economy is 5 units. (i) Formulate the Lagrange equation. (ii) Write down the Karush-Khun-Tucker conditions. (iii) Determine a possible solution. b) Let aggregate national income be given by Y; = C; + It + G; Where C, I and G are consumption, investment and government expenditure. Assume that consumption is given by C = mY; %3D Investment is given by I; = i + «(Y¢-1– Y;-2) %3D And government expenditure declines over time according to G¢ = Go(1 – 8)*, 0 < 8 < 1 Where 8 is the exogenous rate of decline of government expenditure (i) Derive the linear second order difference equation. (ii) Solve the difference equation.
Consider a one period model in which a representative agent maximises the utility function: u(c,l) = lnc + 5lnl subject to the budget constraints: c = (1-t)w(1-l) + v where c is consumption and l is the amount of leisure, they enjoy out of a total of one unit of time available, t is the tax on wage earnings which pays for v in government transfer payments. A. Solve for first order conditions of the representative agent. B. Write down the market clearing condition (resource constraint) for the aggregate economy. C. Solve for equilibrium consumption and labour choices.
Consider an exchange economy with two investors, A and B, and one physical good. Investor, i, lives for two periods, and has lifetime utility given by U(c,c) = log(c)+ Blog(c{) Be(0,1) i={4, B} where c is consumption of the good of investor i in period t= {0, 1}. Their endowments are given by y ={y°•y?} where the first component in the endowment vector denotes the investor's endowment of the physical good in period 0, and the second component denotes the investor's endowment of the good in period 1. Importantly, the physical good is non-storable. Each investor may be willing to trade some of period 0 endowment in order to enhance consumption in period 1, or vice versa. Market structure: In period 0, investors can trade in the physical good (or equivalently, trade claims to the physical good), as well as buy and sell “futures" (i.e., promises to deliver one unit of the good in period 1). In period 1, there are no more transactions except that investors execute their promises. Use values…

Consider an economy where all production and all consumption is carried out by a single agent, Robinson Crusoe. Robinson, as a consumer, is endowed with H hours of time. His utility depends in hours of leisure, h, and coconuts, y: u(h, y) = (h)1−βyβ with 0 ≤ h ≤ H,β ∈ (0,1). Robinson, as a firm, can transform hours of labor, z, into coconuts y. His technology of production is given by y = f(z) = zα with α ∈ (0, 1). Let p denote the price of coconuts, w denote the price of leisure/labor, and π denote the firm’s profits. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is py ≤ w(H − h) + π. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is px ≤ w(H − h) + π, and that in equilibrium in the market of coconuts x = y and in the labor market h + z = H. Find the equilibrium allocation and price vector in equilibrium.
A decision maker allocates an endowment of W > 0 dollars across two periodst = 1, 2. He discounts the future by β ∈ (0, 1) while facing a gross interest rateof R > 1. His utility is the same as studied in class. Solve for the intertemporalchoice problem. Show that the optimal consumption is decreasing over time ifβR < 1, constant over time if βR = 1, and increasing over time if βR > 1.
