The Model of A Sudden StopConsider a two-period, small, open economy. In period 1, households receive an endowment of 6units of tradable goods and 9 units of nontradable goods. In period 2, households receive 13.2 unitsof tradables and 9 units of nontradables (QT = 6, Q = 13.2, and QN = QN = 9). Households startperiod 1 with no assets or liabilities (B; = 0). The country enjoys free access to world financialmarkets, where the prevailing interest rate is 10 percent (r* = 0.1). Suppose that the household'spreferences are defined over consumption of tradable and nontradable goods in periods 1 and 2,and are described by the following utility function, In Cf + In CN + In C + In C", where C andCN denote, respectively, consumption of tradables and nontradables in period i = 1,2. Let pi andP2 denote the relative prices of nontradables in terms of tradables in periods 1 and 2, respectively.1.Solve for Cf, C, CN, CN, P1, and p2, and calculate the equilibrium levels of thecurrent account balance in periods 1 and 2 (CA, and CA2).2.Let us sketch a scenario like the one that took place during the Argentine debtcrisis of 2001 by assuming that because of fears that the country will not repay its debtsin period 2, foreign lenders increased the interest rate from 10 percent to 100 percent (now r* = 1.00). Calculate the equilibrium levels of the current account balance in periods 1 and2 (CA, and CA2).3.Consider the same situation as in Part 2 of this question. Suppose the InterAmerican Development Bank (IADB) decided to implement a transfer (gift) to Argentinato ameliorate the effects of the external crisis. Specifically, suppose that the IADB givesArgentina a transfer of F units of tradable goods in period 1. Use the utility function givenabove to compute the size of F that would make Argentineans as happy as in the no-crisisscenario.

Medicare recipients can purchase supplemental private insurance (known as Medigap insurance) to fill the gap in coverage left by Medicare. This gap includes copayments, deductibles, and prescription drug expenses not covered by Medicare. Several years ago, the government enacted regulations that specify minimum standards for items that Medigap policies must cover. This made the policies more expensive, and as a consequence, about 25 percent of the elderly who would have purchased some Medi-gap insurance purchased none at all [Finkelstein, 2004]. Consider an individual who consumes two goods, "insurance" and "all other goods." The cost of a unit of Medigap insurance is $1, as is the cost of a unit of all other goods. Sketch a budget constraint and set of indifference curves that are consistent with the following scenario: In an unregulated market, an individual with a $30,000 income purchases $5,000 worth of Medigap insurance. The government then puts mandates on Medigap policies that…

The mayor of Green City is considering whether to institute a Covid vaccine mandate for public employees. The fire chief opposes vaccination, and has threatened to resign if a mandate is instituted. The mayor believes that instituting a mandate is critical to getting Covid under control, and thus not instituting the mandate would costs the city -50 utility. However, the fire chief is critical to maintaining public safety. If the fire chief resigns, it would cost the city 75 utility. The fire chief believes a mandate would be an invasion of his personal freedom, costing him 20 utility. The mandate only impacts the fire chief if he does not resign. However, resigning his job as fire chief would cost him 40 utility. Draw this game. Identify how many subgames it contains. Then, solve the game to find all subgame perfect Nash equilibria.

According to data from Yelp, more than 55 percent of the 132,500 businesses listed on the site that closed during the pandemic will remain shuttered permanently. Although government relief bought some companies time, businesses that are now closed will likely remain that way for the long term. Restaurants account for the greatest share of permanent and temporary closures, followed closely by retailers and then beauty salons and spas. “Businesses are needing to decide, ‘Do I renew my lease on my space for another year?’ It is really hard to make a one-year commitment to paying rent when businesses are closing down for the second time and there’s no end in sight to this virus,” said Michael Stepner, a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University. “The longer these temporary closings go on, the more of them will turn permanent.” States that depend heavily on tourism like Hawaii and Nevada have experienced the most closures per capita. As businesses close across the country, it becomes…
