2. Another issue facing millennials is the growing income and wealth inequality. We will use
our model to understand the implications of this issue.
A. Begin from the baseline preferences and endowments.
Assume Xavier is wealthier than Yuri.
Xavier has an endowment of 1100 pounds for each period (E1=E2=1100).
Yuri has an endowment of only 900 pounds in each period (E1=E2=900).
Note that each period's market supply is unchanged (1100 + 900 = 1000 + 1000 = = 2000).
Determine the equilibrium interest rate.
