Question

There is one period. Assume a representative agent with utility function U(ct) = αc_t − βc^2_t
assume the following:
 α = 100, β = 1, and δ = 0.97.
 Consumption at t = 0 is C0 = 24.
 At t = 1 one of two states θ1 and θ2 eventuate with probability π1 = 0.5, and π2 = 0.5,
respectively.
 There are two complex securities s^1 and s^2.
s^1 has a payoff of 23 in θ1 and 27 in θ2.
s^2 has a payoff of 20 in θ1 and 32 in θ2.

What is the stochastic discount factor mt+1? hint: Recall mt+1 =δU′(ct+1)/U′(ct)
