    Suppose that all agents in the economy have the following utility function U(c,l)=( c(1-θ) /(1- θ ))-l  where c is consumption, l is the supply of labor, and θ a fixed parameter. Suppose that individuals only have labor income, with an hourly wage of w and a tax rate of t. Thus, the budget constraint of the agent is w(1-t) l=c . We will assume here that θ = 0.5 and w = 1. The elasticity of the labor supply with...
