Consider the two-period Neoclassical growth model seen in class. Suppose that income is measured in dollars. Let the utility function take the logarithmic form U(C)=In C. Suppose that Y, = $50,000, and Y2 = $30,000, and ß = 1 and R= 5%. B.1 What is the value of lifetime income in terms of dollars today? B.2 Compute the consumption in dollars for period 1 and period 2.

Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y=√K and annual investment is given by the function I=γ×YI where γ=0.280, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 4.67%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking.
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
Question : Fisher's two period model implies that as long as consumption in both periods is as a normal good, then an increase in income in period two: a- increases consumption in period 1 only. b-increases consumption in period 2 only. c. does not increas consumption in either period. d. increases consumption in both periods. e. increases consumption in period 1 and reduce consumption in period.
To answer Questions #1 through #4 use the following information: Suppose that in the nation state of Raleighville there are 2 final goods produced in the economy - dog food and kitten chow. Suppose the economy produces 15 units of dog food and 5 units of kitten chow in 2000 (the base year), and 20 units of dog food and 10 units of kitten chow in 2020. Further suppose the price of dog food was $1.00 per unit in 2000, and $3.00 per unit in 2020; whereas the price of kitten chow was $1.00 in 2000 and $2.50 in 2020. What was the real GDP for Raleighville in 2020? Oa. $20.00 O b. $30.00 Oc. $57.50 Od. $85.00 Next page page
Suppose you know the following facts about consumer behavior of Amy in 2019. In a year, Amy spends $10000 on basic household items regardless of how much she is earning. For every dollar of disposable income earned, Amy spends 50% on extra purchases. Amy pays taxes in the amount of $1000, and receives no transfers. Use this information to: Derive Amy’s consumption function in nominal terms. Suppose the price level index in the economy for 2019 is estimated to be P = 2. Rewrite the consumption function in real terms.
Consider an economy with dynamics captured with the following graph: ke-1 k' k" k* 45- Economic activity necessarily fluctuates over time K₁+1 = (k₂) Observe that there are three possible values of k. Explain what happens in this economy if its initial capital stock is just to the left of the middle value of k'. the economy reaches a high level of economic activity the economy converges to a low level of activity, i.e., it will be trapped in poverty the actual trajectory is indeterminate
