Suppose an economy's production is defined by the following neoclassical production function: Y=3K1/3L2/3. Derive the labor demand equation by expressing labor, L, as a function of the real wage, w=W/P Don't answer by pen paper and don't use chatgpt otherwise we will give dounvote
Consider an economy in which the consumption, investment and production functions are as follows.C = 90 + 0:7(Y - T)I = 250 - 20r F(K;L) = AK1=2L1=2The capital and labor supply are equal to 100 each, A=10, G = 200 and T = 200. Compute theequilibrium values of output, overall labor income, consumption, public savings, national savings,investment, and the interest rate.Suppose now government spending decreases to G=100 (everything else stays the same). Whathappens to output, consumption, savings, investment and the interest rate? Compute the newvalues for these variables.
Consider the intertemporal model of consumption studied in class, with two possible periods. Consider initially that an individual is a borrower. If the interest rate increases: (a)The individual will never become a saver. (b)The individual will always remain a borrower. (c)The individual will be worse off, provided she remains a borrower. (d)The individual can be better off, but only if she becomes a saver. Both c and d.
Consider the household model that you have seen in class but now assume that the goal of the household is to consume twice as much in period 2 as in period 1. She earns $100 in the first period and $150 in the second period. The interest rate is 5%. What is her optimal saving in the first period? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.
Please answer the following question. Thanks! Consider a classical economy described as follows: ? = ?^(1/2)?^(1/2) , where L is the amount of labor and K is the amount of capital. The economy has 10,000 units of labor and 10,000 units of capital. Consumption (C): 5,020-100r, Investment (I) : 2,000-100r, Taxes (T): 2,500, Government Purchases (G) :3,000
Consider the production function modelled by the following equation: Y₁ = AK₁-α(BH₂)ªL₹ where Kt is capital, Ht is human capital, Lt is the number of workers, B is a scalar larger than 0, A is the (constant) level of technology, 0 < a <1 and 0 <ɛ<1. a) Does this production function satisfy all the neoclassical properties? Discuss the meaning of each property intuitively and mathematically. t Imagine that parents invest in the human capital of their children up to the point where the marginal product of physical capital, Kt, is equal to the marginal product of human capital, Ht. b) What is the relation between Kt and Ht? Use this relation to write down total output as a function of Kt only. Q3(b) in order to make output a function of K alone, after establishing that H and K are proportional, should we also establish H=h*L to remove L from the equation? Or are we treating L and H as independent variables like we did for the previous PSET and question 3(a) above.

Consider the problem of an individual that has Y dollars to spend on consuming over two periods. Let c, denote the amount of consumption that the individual would like to purchase in period 1 and c2 denote the amount of consumption that the individual would like to consume in period 2. The individual begins period 1 with Y dollars and can purchase c1 units of the consumption good at a price P and can save any unspent wealth. Use sı to denote the amount of savings the individual chooses to hold at the end of period 1. Any wealth that is saved earns interest at rate r so that the amount of wealth the individual has at his/her disposal to purchase consumption goods in period 2 is (1+r)s1. This principal and interest on savings is used to finance period 2 consumption. Again, for simplicity, we can assume that it costs P2 dollars to buy a unit of the consumption good in period 2. 2 The individual's total happiness is measured by the sum of period utility across time, u(cı) + u(c2). Let u(c)…
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…

In the context of the Irving Fisher two-period model, if a person is a saver (i.e., C1 < Y1), a fall inthe real interest rate causes: (a) C1 to rise; C2 to fall(b) C1 ambiguous; C2 to fall(c) C1 to fall; C2 ambiguous(d) C1 to fall; C2 to rise
