Josh is playing blackjack for real money. He has reference-dependent preferences over money: if his earnings are m and his reference point is r, then his utility is v(m − r), where the value function v satisfies v(x) = ln(x + 1) for x ≥ 0, and v(x) = −2 ln(−x + 1) for x ≤ 0. (a) Graph Josh’s utility function as a function of m − r. [Note: The graph does not have to be exact. A sketch is perfectly fine, but it should display the key properties of this value function.] (b) Does Josh’s value function satisfy loss aversion? Does it satisfy diminishing sensitivity?
Consider the following functions for consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Compute private, public, and national savings for this economy, and find the equilibrium real interest rate (r). Assume that G declines by 500 units. How will it change your answers in part (a)? What happens to the national savings, given everything else, if the public decides to consume less out of their disposable income (assume that the propensity of consume falls by 10 percent)? Given your answer in part (c), what happens to investment and real interest rate? Answer all four.
2. Suppose Jill derives utility from not only consuming goods, but also from enjoying leisure time. Let her utility function be defined as follows: U=C.25.R.75 where C is a consumption good that can be bought at a price of $1 and R is hours of leisure (relaxation) consumed per day. There are 24 hours in a day and leisure is defined as time spent not working. Jill has a job that pays $w per hour, a trust fund that pays her $M per day, and she can work any number of hours per day, L, she desires. C, consumption good; R, Leisure (relaxation); L, labor M, non-wage income; w, wage rate. a. Derive her labor supply function? b. Assume M = $100, at what wage is her quantity supplied of hours = 0?
1/2 of the population is unemployed with $500 in income; the other 1/2 are employed and earn $50,000 each individual has the utility function: U=4x(1/2) where x=individual's income Proposal 1) government taxes everyone with income at a flat rate of 10%. From the tax revenue, the government will refund the same amount to each person; regardless of their income Proposal 2) government taxes everyone at a flat rate of 10%. It will refund the same amount to each person according to the percentage of taxes paid. Question: compare the proposals under the utilitarian and Rawlsian social welfare functions. How do these proposals rank under each social welfare function? (all calculations can be done on a per-capita basis).

Consider a two-period consumption saving model and let ci and c2 denote the first and second period consumption, respectively. Assume that the interest rate at which the consumer may lend or borrow is 10%. Suppose that a consumer's utility function is u (C1, c2) = c1 + 20 c2. The consumer first period income is I1 = $100 and the present value of her income stream is $330. (a) What is the optimal consumption stream (consumption bundle) of this consumer? (b) Is this consumer borrower or lender? How much does she borrow or lend? (c) What is the effect of a reduction of the interest rate to 5% on the consumer's optimal first-period saving? (Make sure to take into account the effect of the decline in the interest rate on the present value of the consumer's income stream.)
Consider a consumer who can borrow or lend freely at an interest rate of 100% per period of time (think of the period as being, say, 30 years, a bit like with a mortgage). So r = 1.0, or 100%. The consumer's two-period utility function is: U = In(ct) + (1/2)In(Ct+1) The consumer earn Y=100 each period, so Y₁=100 and Yt+1 also equals 100. If this consumer is behaving optimally, trying to maximize her lifetime utility subject to the IBC, what's her consumption in period t?
Holly's utility function is U(c1, c2) = c/21 + 0.87d/22, where cq is her consumption in period 1 and c2 is her consumption in period 2. In period 2, her income is twice as large as her income in period 1. At what interest rate will she choose to consume the same amount in period 2 as in period 1? (Choose the closest answer.) Group of answer choices 0.30 0.08 0.23 0.15
Consider an economy where individuals live for two periods only. Their utility function over consumption in periods 1 and 2 is given by U = 2 log(C1) + 2 log(C2), where C1 and C2 are period 1 and period 2 consumption levels respectively. They have labor income of $100 in period 1 and labor income of $50 in period 2. They can save as much of their income in period 1 as they like in bank accounts, earning interest rate of 5 percent per period. They have no bequest motive, so they spend all their income before the end of period 2. a. What is each individual’s lifetime budget constraint? If they choose consumption in each period so as to maximize their lifetime utility subject to their lifetime budget constraint, what is the optimal consumption in each period? How much do the consumers save in the first period? b. Suppose that the government introduces a social security system that will take $10 from each individual in period 1, put it in a bank account, and transfer it back to…
John has the following utility function U(C₁, C2) = min{c₁ + ac2, C2}, where C₁ and c₂ are his consumption in periods 1 and 2, respectively and a is some positive constant. Suppose John has $100 income in period 1 and $105 income in period 2. Prices in both periods are $1. Question 2 Part al Suppose a = 2. If John can freely borrow and lend at 5% interest rate what would be his optimal consumption in both periods? 1 Question 2 Part a2 Suppose a = 2. Now, John can lend at 5% interest rate, but can't borrow at all. What would be his optimal consumption in both periods? Question 2 Part bl Suppose a 0.5. If John can freely borrow and lend at 5% interest rate what would be his optimal consumption in both periods? Question 2 Part b2 Suppose a 0.5. Now, John can lend at 5% interest rate, but can't borrow. What would be his optimal consumption in both periods?
Suppose you have a monthly income of $1000, $850 in monthly expenses, and you can put money in a savings account that yields a monthly interest rate of 4%. Now suppose you have an opportunity to invest your money at a 12% return. Further suppose you are able to borrow at 3%. Assuming you invest all of your money and then borrow against your future payout, show your trade-off between present and future consumption. If you still need to consume $850 in the present, how much will you have to spend in the future?
Suppose the U.S. economy was at trend and now benefits from a boom in Asia, which raises de by 0.015. All other demand parameters remain unchanged. In order to maintain Y₁ = 0, the Federal Reserve raises the real interest rate R by 0.6 percentage point. Based on this information you know that b =
