F.Derive the intratemporal optimality condition; that is, the consumption-leisuretrade-off in period 1. (Hint: What is the MRS = MU₁-1/MU?) Interpret.(a) Hint 1: A higher labor income tax rate 7 reduces consumption relative to leisure.(b) Hint 2: A higher consumption tax rate in period 1 Te, reduces consumption relativeto leisure. Let's incorporate the labor-leisure trade-off and capitalincome taxes in the two-period model. Let c₁, c₂ be consumption in two periods, I the numberof hours worked, Te Te the proportional taxes on consumption in 2 periods, s the savingrate, w the wage rate, b pension in the 2nd period, and 7, the tax on savings (capital incometax). The household's maximization problem in this case is: given by max₁,02,8,1-1 log(c₁) +log (1-1)+5log (c₂) such that (1+T₁₁) C₁+s=(1-7)wl and (1+T₂)C₂ = [1+r(1-T)]s+b,where measures how the household values leisure vis-a-vis consumption.

In the field of economics, the term intertemporal choice signifies a method of decision-making that…

3. Analytic Question on Durable Consumption It is known that durable consumption is more sensitive to interest rates and expected income. In this question, we investigate if this is the case in the context of the model we have been studying. We investigate the following decision: U (c1, c2) 1 max {c1,c2} 2 VCi + xo + subject to the following budget constraints: The time 1 budget constraint: a = Y1 - Ci and the time 2 budget constraint: C2 = Y2 + (1 +r) a. The novelty is that ro is now a variable to represents past purchases of goods 1. You can think of this as a car. In turn, we have that x1 = c1 so a1 is consumption derived utility in period 2 derived from past purchases. For this question assume that B (1+ r) = 1. Answer the following questions. а. Substitute out a from both budget constraints, the one at time 1 and time 2, to write a single intertemporal budget constraint. b. Show that the Euler equation (the equation that relates the marginal utility of consumption to the interest…

Assume you can work as many hours you wish at £12 per hour (net of tax). If you do not work, you have no income. You have no ability to borrow or lend, so your consumption, c, is simply equal to your income. Derive and plot the feasible set, between daily values of consumption c, and “leisure”, l. Label the values at the intercepts (the points where the feasible frontier cuts the two axes).
11. A worker derives utility from consumption, C and leisure, L U = U(C, L) and initially faces the constraints p.C = N+w.H H = 24 - L where p is the nominal price of consumption, N> 0 is unearned income, w is the nominal wage and H is hours worked. (a) Derive the budget constraint in terms of C and L and show on a diagram an initial optimal choice of C and L, in which both are positive. (b) State this equilibrium algebraically, and briefly explain how it can be derived. (c) Show that, assuming normality of leisure, for some value N*, if N> N*, the individual will choose not to work. Is the initial level of N in your answers to parts a) and b) greater or less than N*?

10. Suppose in our model, lifespans increased due to a productivity in- crease. What would likely happen to hours worked and leisure over the lifetime of a represent ative consumer. (a) Let's consider one of two common ways of implementing this change. Suppose the increase raised both lifespans and the amount of years consumers are healthy enough to work by the same amount, how would that likely affect the measured numbered of hours work by prime aged adults within a given year? What would likely hap- pen to the retirement age? (b) Let's consider the other way to implement it. Suppose the change in lifetimes came about changes in technology that delayed death but did not extend the amount of years consumers are healthy enough to work. What would likely happen to hours worked within a year? What would happen to the retirement age? (c) In the US, the generalized stylized fact is that the actual age of retirement is not increasing. Nor are hours worked per week. Why are both of the above…
