- The question is a descriptive question in Microeconomics. Consider an economy inhabited by identical agents of size 1: A representative agent's preference over consumption (c) and labour supply (l) is given by the utility function u(c,l) = ca (24-l)1-a for 0<a<1 Production of the consumption good c is given by the production function c = Al; where A > 0 is the productivity of labour. Both the commodity market and labour market are perfectly competitive: the buyers and sellers take the price as given while taking demand and supply decisions. Let us denote the hourly wage rate by w > 0 and price of the consumption good by p > 0: A competitive equilibrium is given by the allocation of consumption andlabour, (cCE,lCE) and the relative price ratio, w/p, such that for given w and p, a representative agent decides her labour supply, lS, and consumption demand, cD; to maximize her utility; A firm decides its labour demand, lD; and supply of consumption good, cD; to maximize its…Consider an economy where all production and all consumption is carried out by a single agent, Robinson Crusoe. Robinson, as a consumer, is endowed with H hours of time. His utility depends in hours of leisure, h, and coconuts, y: u(h, y) = (h)1−βyβ with 0 ≤ h ≤ H,β ∈ (0,1). Robinson, as a firm, can transform hours of labor, z, into coconuts y. His technology of production is given by y = f(z) = zα with α ∈ (0, 1). Let p denote the price of coconuts, w denote the price of leisure/labor, and π denote the firm’s profits. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is py ≤ w(H − h) + π. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is px ≤ w(H − h) + π, and that in equilibrium in the market of coconuts x = y and in the labor market h + z = H. Find the equilibrium allocation and price vector in equilibrium.Consider a Robinson Crusoe economy. Robinson is a representative agent with utility function: u(c, r) = cr, where c is coconuts, and r is leisure. In order to produce coconuts, technology dictates the production, which is given by c = avL, where a is some constant, and L is labour. Suppose that a=2. Finally, there is a time constraint: r+L=21 for the consumer. Also the consumer has income of 9. Consider a competitive labour market. Given the wage rate, w=1, the consumer would like to supply 2 decimal places.) units of the labour input. (Answer just the number up to
- = 5. Consider an economy with a single (representative) agent with utility function u(x, lc) = x¹/514/5 and an endowment of 0 units of x and 10 units of time, which the agent can use as leisure (c) or labor (L) (i.e., L + lc = 10). The agent owns a firm that produces good x using L as an input, with technology of production given by x(L) = 3√L. Let the price of x be p = 1 and let w denote the price of time (i.e., the price of leisure and the wage). Find the competitive price of time w and the competitive allocation.(2) Consider a Robinson Crusoe's economy, where he has 10 hours to spend on gathering coconuts (L), or a leisure (R). That is, L + R = 10. He can produce coconuts based on the production function given by C = 4√L, where C is the number of coconuts. He does not enjoy gathering coconuts, but does enjoy his leisure time and eating coconuts. His utility function is given by u(C, R) = CR. (a) Find the optimal allocation (C*, L*), in which Robinson Crusoe acts as a social planner. (b) Now consider a de-centralized economy. That is, think of this economy that consists of many individuals with the identical taste and technology. First, consider a firm's decision problem. The firm produces coconuts (C), employing workers (L). The firm hires L in a competitive market, given the wage rate (w). Without loss of generality, assume the price of coconuts to be Pc = 1. Given the market wage rate (w), how much labour would a firm hire in order to maximize its profits? Label your answer as L, and note…Find the marginal rate of substitution for Household A.
- 5. Suppose the economy consists of a representative agent with the following utility function: P U = Cα ( M )1−α. Labor is supplied exogenously at level L¯. Output is sup- plied by a perfectly competitive representative firm, which has production function Y = Lη . Any profits are remitted to the representative agent. There is a government, which purchases amount G of goods and services. This amount is financed by a lump-sum tax, of level T and seigniorage. Money is the only asset in the economy; initial money holdings are given by M l. Money is supplied exogenously by the government. Assume both prices and wages are flexible. (a) Write down the consumer’s and the firm’s intertemporal maximiza- tion problems. (b) Solve for expressions for aggregate demand and supply (that is, out- put as a function of the price…Consider a two-period small open economy populated by households and firms with a single good each period. The preferences of the representative household are described by the utility function u(c₁c₂) = (₁₂)² where c₁ and c₂ denote consumption in periods 1 and 2, respectively. In period 1, the household receives an endowment of q₁ = 1. In period 2, the household receives profits, denoted by ₂, from the firms it owns. In period 1, the household has access to financial markets where they can borrow or lend at the interest rate r = 10%. The household has a zero asset holding position in period 1. Let the budget constraint in the first period be c₁ + bh = 9₁, with b denoting assets purchased in the first period. Firms borrow in period 1 from the international financial market to invest in physical capital and to produce final goods in period 2. Denote by d₁ the amount of debt taken by the firm in period 1. The production technology in period 2 is given by Q₂ = 410.5, where Q₂ and 1₁ denote…Consider a two-period small open economy populated by households and firms with a single good each period.

In period 1, the household receives an endowment of q₁ = 1. In period 2, the household receives profits, denoted by T₂, from the firms it owns. In period 1, the household has access to financial markets where they can borrow or lend at the interest rate r = 10%. The household has a zero asset holding position in period 1.

Firms borrow in period 1 from the international financial market to invest in physical capital and to produce final goods in period 2. Denote by d₁ the amount of debt taken by the firm in period 1. The production technology in period 2 is given by Q₂ = 410.5, where Q₂ and 1₁ denote…
- Consider a small closed economy with two consumption goods: good 1 (meat) and good 2 (berries). There are two types of agents, h and g, and they have the same preferences over consumption, represented by the utility function: u(x1, x2) = In ¤1 + In x2. However, there are twice as many type-h agents as type-g agents. The only factors of production are their labour. When a type-h agent chooses to spend a fraction a of his day producing meat and the rest producing berries then his output is (yf, y½) = (2a, 2(1 – a)). A type-g agent is more productive. When she chooses to spend a fraction B of her day producing meat and the rest producing berries then her output is (y7, vž) = (38, 12(1 – B)). The hunter-gatherers now have the possibility of opening up their economy to free trade. In world markets, 1 unit of meat can be exchanged for 2 units of berries, and the country would be a price-taker. Which of the following statements is correct? O a. Only agents of type g benefit from free trade. O…Assume an individual has a utility function of this form U(C, L) = 20 + 4(C*L)1/2 This utility function implies that the individual’s marginal utility of leisure is 2(C/L)1/2 and her marginal utility of consumption is 2(L/C)1/2. The individual has an endowment of V=$80 in non-labour income and T = 16 hours to either work (h) or use for leisure (L). Assume that the price of each unit of consumption good p=$1 and the wage rate for each hour of work w=$10. a. What is this individual’s optimal amount of consumption and leisure? b. Assume a cash grant welfare program is instituted which pays M = 20 dollars for individuals who do not work. Compute the new optimal labour supply for this individual under the welfare program. Assume that prior to the welfare program, p =$1, w =$10, and V =$80 (as in part c). Does the individual accept the welfare program and not work? Show why or why not.Assume an individual has a utility function of this form U(C, L) = 20 + 4(C*L)1/2 This utility function implies that the individual’s marginal utility of leisure is 2(C/L)1/2 and her marginal utility of consumption is 2(L/C)1/2. The individual has an endowment of V=$80 in non-labour income and T = 16 hours to either work (h) or use for leisure (L). Assume that the price of each unit of consumption good p=$1 and the wage rate for each hour of work w=$10. a. How much utility does the individual receive if she consumes C = 100 and works h = 7 hours? b. Calculate the rate at which the individual is willing to sacrifice an additional leisure hour when she is already working 4 hours. c. What is this individual’s optimal amount of consumption and leisure?
