Consider the following two-period consumption-saving model: Max C (BC2)?, C1,C2 subject to the following constraints Y1 = C1+S, Y2 = C2 – (1+r)S. 1. Solve for the intertemporal budget constraint 2. Draw the budget constraint (in a graph) with Y1 label the maximum values of C¡ and C2 on the y-axis and x-axis. 140, Y2 = 70, and r = 0.25. Be sure to 3. Suppose that ß = 0.8, solve for the optimal values of consumption, C; and C5. 4. Compare your consumption function for period 1 to a consumption function suggested by John Maynard Keynes (the so-called Keynesian consumption function). Are they different? 5. When r does down, how does C change? Does it increase or decrease? Show this mathe- matically.

U = c¹/² + Bc¹²/2 tt+1 A) Suppose that the household faces two within period budget constraints of the form: C++ 1 = Y++1 + (1+r)s Combine the two period budget constraints into one intertemporal budget constraint. B) Use the intertemporal budget constraint and this utility function to derive the Euler equation characterizing an optimal consumption plan. C) Use this Euler equation and the intertemporal budget constraint to derive a consumption function expressing cas a function of Y, Y₁+1, and rt.

Which one of the following statements relating to marginal propensity to consume is INCORRECT? (a) Marginal propensity to consume for a given consumption function is usually less than 1; (b) If the people in a country save 30c out of every rand they earn, the marginal propensity to consume in this country is said to be 0.7; (c) If the marginal propensity to consume is given as 0.622, then the value of the simple multiplier will be 2.5; (d) The larger the value of the marginal propensity to consume, the steeper the consumption function will be.
Let's incorporate the labor-leisure trade-off and capital income taxes in the two-period model. Let c₁, c₂ be consumption in two periods, I the number of hours worked, Te Te the proportional taxes on consumption in 2 periods, s the saving rate, w the wage rate, b pension in the 2nd period, and 7, the tax on savings (capital income tax). The household's maximization problem in this case is: given by maxe₁,e2,8,1-1 log(c₁) + log (1-1)+5log (c₂) such that (1+T₂) C₁+8 = (1-7)wl and (1+T₂)C₂ = [1+r(1-Ts)]s+b, where measures how the household values leisure vis-a-vis consumption.

Consider an economy where individuals live for two periods only. Their utility function over consumption in periods 1 and 2 is given by U = 2 log(C1) + 2 log(C2), where C1 and C2 are period 1 and period 2 consumption levels respectively. They have labor income of $100 in period 1 and labor income of $50 in period 2. They can save as much of their income in period 1 as they like in bank accounts, earning interest rate of 5 percent per period. They have no bequest motive, so they spend all their income before the end of period 2. a. What is each individual’s lifetime budget constraint? If they choose consumption in each period so as to maximize their lifetime utility subject to their lifetime budget constraint, what is the optimal consumption in each period? How much do the consumers save in the first period? b. Suppose that the government introduces a social security system that will take $10 from each individual in period 1, put it in a bank account, and transfer it back to…
Suppose Bank of England is considering using the tool of cutting interest rates to boost household consumption. In this question you will be asked to use the intertemporal choice model to assess the impact of different policies on household consumption. Suppose a consumer's current income is £25,000 and their future income is £30,000, and they initially face a market interest rate of 15% on both saving and borrowing. (a) In a diagram with consumption this year (C1) on the horizontal axis and consumption next year (C2) on the vertical axis, illustrate this consumer's budget constraint (using the numerical values set above) and indicate their optimal choice by drawing a indifference curve convex to the origin, assuming that at the current interest rate it is optimal for them to save. (b) Calculate (using the numerical values set above) and interpret their marginal rate of time preference at their optimal choice. (c) Illustrate and explain how a fall in the market interest rate from 15%…

Q 1 5. Refer to the following intertemporal budget constraint of a respective consumer: a. How would this budget constraint change if individual becomes more presented oriented (he discounts future heavily)? b. How would this budget constraint change if individual faces a borrowing constraint in second period?
Assume that Kelly is a life cycle consumer and receives incomes of 20, 30, 45 and 0 in her four period life. What is Kelly's marginal propensity to consume out of her new wealth (AC/AW) in the following situations: [Hint: Let AC be the the change in consumption compared to what she would have done before the inheritance changed her wealth AW]. 19. In period 2 following an unexpected inheritance of 10: (a) 0.25; (b) 0.33; (c) 0.75; (d) 1.0; 20. In period 3 following an expected lump sum payment from her trust fund of 15: (a) 0.33; (b) 0.75; (c) 0.45; (d) 0.50; 21. What is her desired optimal consumption in period 3 with the anticipated trust fund gift of 15: (a) 20; (b) 30; (c) 27.50; (d) 22.50; 22.
