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 agent who want to maximize her utility function, u (C₁, C₂) = C₁ C₂ subject to the budget constraint, c₁ + pc₂ = w with C₁, C₂ > 0 indicating consumption of commodity 1 and 2, respectively, while p>0 and w>0 are exogenously given parameters, indicating the relative price of good 2 and the relative wealth in term of good 1's price. Decide whether the following claims are true or false. W • The value of the Lagrange multiplier is λ = 2p False True w² • The value function u(w) is equal to u(w) = 4p True False • λ(w) measures the approximate change in utility that can be obtained from an increase/decrease in wealth w. True False
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…
Now,suppose N=3 with a market clearing interest rate. The first two agents are the same as earlier. The third agent has an endowment of 20 in the first period and consumes 15 in the second period. If the first two agents each consumed 21 units in the first period, how much did the third agent consume in the first period? Plz do fast
Consider a two-period small open economy populated by households and firms with a single good each period. The preferences of the representative household are described by the utility function u(c₁c₂) = (₁₂)² where c₁ and c₂ denote consumption in periods 1 and 2, respectively. In period 1, the household receives an endowment of q₁ = 1. In period 2, the household receives profits, denoted by ₂, from the firms it owns. In period 1, the household has access to financial markets where they can borrow or lend at the interest rate r = 10%. The household has a zero asset holding position in period 1. Let the budget constraint in the first period be c₁ + bh = 9₁, with b denoting assets purchased in the first period. Firms borrow in period 1 from the international financial market to invest in physical capital and to produce final goods in period 2. Denote by d₁ the amount of debt taken by the firm in period 1. The production technology in period 2 is given by Q₂ = 410.5, where Q₂ and 1₁ denote…

"The non-liner transformation of the vNM expected utility function fails to reflect the underlying preference relation." Explain the above statement.
Answer please with added diagrams b) Assume that your optimal choice of consumption and leisure is to work 8 hours per day. Illustrate this choice diagrammatically using the feasible set and indifference curves. c) Use indifference curves and the feasible set to show why, given the properties of the optimal choice in part b it is not optimal to work, say, 10, or 6 hours per day.

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.
Anticipated productivity shift An infinitely lived representative household has preferences over a stream of consumption of a single good that are ordered by Where u is a strictly concave, twice continuously differentiable one period utility function, β is a discount factor, and ct is time t consumption. The technology is: Here f(kt)nt is output, where f’ > 0, f” > 0, f t is capital per unit of labor input, and nt is labor input. The household supplies one unit of labor inelastically. The initial capital stock k0 is given and is owned by the representative household. In particular, assume that k0 is at the optimal steady value for k presuming that ψt had been equal to 1 forever. There is no uncertainty. There is no government. a. Formulate the planning problem for this economy in the space of sequences and form the pertinent Lagrangian. Find a formula for the optimal steady state level of capital. How does a permanent increase in ψ affect the steady…
