Consider an economy that lasts for two periods. A household receives nominal labour income Y1 = 100 in the first period and Y2 = 110 in the second period. The price level in the first period is P = 10 and in the second period it's P, = 11. The nominal interest rate i is 15%. Household chooses real consumption c1 and c2 (relative to price level in the first period) to maximise utility U(c1, c2) that exhibits the decreasing marginal rate of substitution property. 1. Calculate the inflation rate 7 and the real interest rate r. 2. Find the real consumption values for which the household neither saves, nor borrows. For all questions below assume that this is the optimal choice for the housheold. 3. Draw and describe analytically the set of feasible consumption choices. What is the marginal rate of substitution at the optimal choice? 4. Now assume that due to increase in risk premia, banks introduce a spread on interest rates, borrowers now pay ry = r + 1% and lenders get ri = r – 1% on…
U(C1, C2) = c₁0.8 20.4 where c₁ is the quantity of current consumption goods and c₂ is the quantity of future consumption goods. Consider a consumer whose income is y₁ = 100 in the current period and y₂ = 140 in the future period. The consumer pays lump-sum taxes t₁ and t₂ == = 20 in the current period 10 in the future period. The real interest rate is r = 0.1, or 10%, per period. (a) Write down the consumer's budget constraint for each period and derive the consumer's lifetime budget constraint. What is the value of the consumer's lifetime wealth? [Note: Lifetime wealth is the present value of the consumer's lifetime disposable income] (b) Draw the lifetime budget line on the (C1, C2) plane with c₁ on the horizontal axis and C₂ on the vertical axis. Include the values of the intercepts and the endowment point in your graph. What is the slope of the budget line? (c) What are the two conditions that the consumer's optimal choice of (C1, C2) must satisfy? Find the consumer's optimal…
Consider an economy that is composed of identical individuals who live for two periods. These individuals have preferences over consumption in periods 1 and 2 given by U = /(C,) + (C2). They receive an income of 45 in period 1 and an income of 20 in period 2. They can save as much of their income as they like in bank accounts, earning an interest rate of 10% per period. They do not care about their children, so they spend all their money before the end of period 2. Each individual's lifetime budget constraint is given by C1 + C2/(1 + r) = Y1 + Y2/(1 + r). Individuals choose consumption in each period by maximizing lifetime utility subject to this lifetime budget constraint. (a) What is the individual's optimal consumption in each period? How much saving does he or she do in the first period? (b) The government has decided to set up a social security system. This system will take $10 from each individual in the first period, put it in the bank, and transfer it to each person with…
Consider the household model that you have seen in class but now assume that the goal of the household is to consume twice as much in period 2 as in period 1. She earns $100 in the first period and $150 in the second period. The interest rate is 5%. What is her optimal saving in the first period? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.

= Questions 1.6 and 1.7 refer to a consumer with preferences over lotteries represented by the Bernoulli utility function u(x) √4x, who receives two job offers, X and Y, that pay wages that depend on whether the economy enters a boom (A), maintains its actual growth (B) or enters a recession (C). Specifically, X pays (A, B, x℃) = (64, 16,0) and Y pays (YA, YB, YC) = (36, 16, 16). The probabilities of scenarios A, B and C are pA = 1/4, PB 1/2 and pc = 1/4, respectively. = 1.6.

Elvira has a major building project. She will need to borrow money. If she can borrow money at a real interest rate of 3.5%, or less, the project will be profitable. However, if the borrowing is set at a real rate higher than 3.5%, the project will be a loss. The bank is offering her a rate of 13% currently. The CPI is due to be released tomorrow. The CPI from one year ago is 263.014. The current CPI is 284.55. Assume the bank's rate is 13% throughout, and the CPI from one year ago is the same at 263.014. Elvira expects tomorrow's CPI to be 290.35. Whether tomorrow's CPI is the same (284.55) or at Elvira's expectation (290.35) the rate is expected to continue. She must commit to the bank today or tomorrow. If she doesn't get the loan, she will be fired. Should she borrow now or wait for the release of CPI data? Why? What are the relevant numbers involved?

Consider the two-period household-maximization model discussed in class. The model is modified in order to look at applications including credit constraints, interest-rate markups, and taxation. A representative household lives for two periods and maximizes utility of consumption in period 1 and in period 2. The utility is represented by log(c) where c denotes consumption. Assuming no discounting between period 1 and period 2. The maximization problem for the representative household can be written as max{log c1 + log c2} c1 + a1 = y1 − τ1 + (1 + r)a0 c2 = y2 − τ2 + (1 + r)a1 where y1 and y2 denote income levels in period 1 and period 2, τ1 and τ2 are taxes in the two periods, and a0 and a1 denote the assets of the households in each period. a0 is exogenously given. Assume the interest rate r = 0, and the government can borrow or save at the same interest rate so that its present-value budget constraint is given by g1 + g2 = τ1 + τ2 where g1 and g2 are exogenous government expenditures…
