ndix A Chapter 7 Consider an economy of three-period-lived people in overlapping generations. Each person is endowed with y goods when young and nothing when middle-aged and old. The population of each generation born in period t is N₁, where N =n× №₁-1 The young can save a part of their endowment for capital which yields return after 2 periods. The rate of return on capital is x in 2 periods time and it depreciates at the rate d every period. Loans can be exchanged between the young and the middle-aged individuals, which the borrower has to pay back to the lender in the next period. a. Explain how credit can be used to provide for consumption when middle-aged. Explain your answer in terms of the use and source of funds for these loans. b. Point out who lends to whom and write the condition for the equality of supply and demand for loans in period t. C. Write the budget constraints for the young, the middle-aged and the old with clear and fully explained/ well defined notations. d. Find an equation that represents the set of feasible stationary allocations in presence of a central planner and explain it in words.

3. Consider a world in which production of a good or service consists of a number of definitive tasks, which must all be performed correctly for the product to have positive value. Each task is filled by a single worker i whose skill level qirepresents the probability the worker performs her task correctly. Mathematically, if there are n tasks in the production of a good, and average production per worker with one unit of capital is 1 when all tasks are performed correctly, the production technology can be represented as: A) Give an example of an industry for which this might be a good model of production. What does this production function imply about the tradeoff between quality and quantity of labor in a given task? In this, how does it differ from a Cobb Douglas production function? B) Find the marginal product of increasing the skill of the ith worker. Suppose now there were two firms in the same industry that will bid for workers, and can pay them differentially according to…

Think of the entrepreneur with no initial resources (but s/he has a good idea=superior project). Recall that this person is living in a "perfect capital market" where the prevailing interest rate is 10%. Also suppose that the entrepreneur's "good idea=superior project" allows her/him to convert an investment worth $1000 at timel into a payoff of $6000 at time 2 a) Calculate the entrepreneur's MV1 = her/his time1 wealth b) briefly explain how she/he can achieve this wealth
Pollution Busters Inc. is considering a purchase of 10 additional carbon sequesters for $100,000 aplece. The sequesters last for only 1 year before becoming saturated. Then the carbon is sold to the government. a. Suppose the government guarantees the price of carbon. At this price, the payoff after 1 year is $115,000 for sure. What is the opportunity cost of capital for this investment? Opportunity cost of capital b-1. Suppose instead that the sequ ered carbon has to be sold on the London Carbon Exchange. Carbon prices have been extremely volatile, but Pollution Busters' CFO learns that average rates of return from investments on that exchange have been about 20%. She thinks this is a reasonable forecast for the future. What is the opportunity cost of capital in this case? Opportunity cost of capital U.S. Treasuries with 1 year to maturity U.S. Treasuries with 2 year to maturity U.S. Treasuries with 3 year to maturity O Yes % b-2.
