Hello, I need some assistance with the attached question. It concerns constrained consumer optimisation.
urgnt
For example, the economy of a country can be explained by several models as follows: Consumer: The consumer derives his satisfaction from his current consumption, future consumption and his free time (u(C,C',l,l'). He maximizes his utility by: C+wl+11+rC'+w'1+rl'=wh+π-T+w'h+'-T'1+r It is assumed that consumer preferences meet the general conditions that are often used (more is better, preference for diversity, all goods are normal, substitution effect is more dominant). Firm: In the first period, the firm has K capital and employs N workers to produce Y output: Y outputs: Y=zF(K,N) The profit in the first period is =Y-wN-I Where I is the company's investment. Investments increase the capital stock for the second period: K'=1-dK+I In the second period the firm will produce output of Y': Y'=z'F(K',N') Then the profits obtained in the second period are: '=Y'-w'N' Firms choose the demand for labor (N, N') and the demand for investment I to maximize their value: V=π+π'1-r…
Please get right, thank you.
Review Appendix 2A of Griffin (on Lagrangian Method). Especially go over Box 2A.1. Using the utility function U = (x^1)(5w^1)(5), income = 40k, p_x = 1, find the demand function for water. (Follow the same steps.).
Consider a household with the following utility function representing their preferences over consumption: U = u(Ct) + Bu(C++1) with =- u(C) = exp(-aC), BE (0,1), a > 0 where C and C++1 represent consumption in the current and future periods, respectively. The household faces a two-period decision problem. They receive endowments of Y, and Yt+1 in the current and future periods, respectively. The real interest rate is denoted by rt. Notice: The utility function u(C) takes on negative values for all positive consumption levels. However, in economic models, the absolute value of utility is less important than how utility changes with consumption. A higher level of utility represents a more preferred outcome for the household. Question: Formulate the household's budget constraints for the current and future periods. Com- bine them to derive the household's intertemporal budget constraint. Write down the household's optimization problem (objective function) that they seek to maximize.…

Consider the model where an individual has wealth k which they can either save or consume. If they save it, they receive a fixed and exogenous return r. The instantaneous utility function is given by: u(c, k) = c + a(k) where c is consumption, k is wealth, and a(k) is a function that defines the utility that an individual gets from holding wealth. The growth in wealth is given as the returns on wealth rk, plus income from working z(t), minus consumption c(t). a. Write out the differential equation for wealth. b. For an infinite time model, set up the optimal control problem with discounting at a rate 8. c. Write the current-valued Hamiltonian of this problem. d. Derive the steady-state level of consumption.

Consider a model in which individuals live for two periods and have utility functions of the form U = In(C1) + In(C2). They earn income of $100 in the first period and save S to finance consumption in the second period. The interest rate, r, is 10%. 1. Set up the individual's lifetime utility maximization problem. Solve for the optimal C1, C2, and S. (Hint: Rewrite C2 in terms of income, C1, and r.) Draw a graph showing the opportunity set. (5 marks) 2. The government imposes a 20% tax on labor income. Solve for the new optimal levels of C1, C2, and S. Explain any differences between the new level of savings and the level in part (a), paying attention to any income and substitution effects. 3. Instead of the labor income tax, the government imposes a 20% tax on interest income. Solve for the new optimal levels of C1, C2, and S. (Hint: What is the new after tax interest rate?) Explain any differences between the new level of savings and the level in a, paying attention to any income…
Laffer curve In the 1980s, president Reagan based his tax and spending policies on supply side eonomics. The idea behind supply side economics is the marginal tax rate is so high it discourages work. Cutting the tax rate would end up increasing tax revenue. We develop a simple model of this idea to determine the restrictions on the utility function required to generate a Laffer curve. Let T denote the tax rate, w is the real wage rate and n the labor supply. The tax revenue is T=wnT where wn is labor income, which is the tax base. For convinience assume w is constant. There is no reason for this assumption to be true, but we impose it to focus on the restrictions on the utility function to generate the Laffer curve. As the tax rate T increases, workers substitute towards leisure and away from consumption. Hence as T rises, wn falls and tax revenues falls for high enough tax rates. Let U,V satisfy the standard assumptions. The model is static and households are endowed with one unit of…
