New economics question
Consider an economy with two goods, consumption c and leisure l, and a representativeconsumer. The consumer is endowed with 24 hours of time in a day. A consumer’s dailyleisure hours are equal to l = 24 − h where h is the number of hours a day the consumerchooses to work. The price of consumption p is equal to 1 and the consumer’s hourlywage is w. The consumer faces an ad valorem tax on their earnings of τ percent. Theconsumer also receives some exogenous income Y that does not depend on how manyhours she works (e.g. an...

Alex earns a wage of 15 an hour if he works up to forty hours per week. however,for every hours, alex works in excess of 40 he earns a wage of 30 an hour。 Alex also faces a 20% tax rate and pays child-care expenses of 4 for every hour he works. He also receives a child support payment of 80 per week. He has a total of 110 hours per week that he can dedicate to work and leisure....
A worker receives a wage rate w and has L hours of leisure every day (the...
A worker receives a wage rate w and has L hours of leisure every day (the total endowment of hours is 24 hours per day). The government taxes his income at the constant rate T. The worker spends all his income. 1. Write a budget constraint of this individual and plot it. 2. Display graphically what is the optimal consumption-leisure choice for this worker. 3. Imagine that the government increases the tax rate to T 0 . What is the...

3. Consider a consumer who has well-behaved preferences over leisure (L) and consumption (x) They have nonlabor income m and have 24 hours in the day that must be divided between leisure and working. They are initially paid a wage w for each hour of work. The price of x is 1 (a) Suppose they optimally choose to work 8 hours. Draw the consumer's budget set and an indifference curve showing this situation. (b) Now suppose that they are paid...

3. Consider a representative consumer who has preferences over an aggregate consumption good e and leisure. Her preferences are described by the uility function: U(c,l) In(e) +In(l) The consumer has a time endowment of h hours which can be used to work at the market or enjoyed as leisure. The real wage rate is w per hour. The worker pays a proportional wage tax of rate t, so the worker's after-tax wage is (1 t). The consumer also has dividend...

Consider a representative consumer who has preferences over an aggregate consumption good c and leisure l. Her preferences are described by the utility function: U(c,l) = ln(c) + ln(l) The consumer has a time endowment of h hours which can be used to work at the market or enjoyed as leisure. The real wage rate is w per hour. The worker pays a proportional wage tax of rate t, so the worker’s after-tax wage is (1−t)w. The consumer also has...

13) Consider the standard labor-leisure choice model. Consumer gets utility from consumption (C) and leisure (L). She has H total hours. She works N S hours and receives the hourly wage, w. She has some non-labor income π and pays lump-sum tax T. Further suppose (π – T) > 0. The shape of utility function is downward-sloping and bowed-in towards the origin (the standard U- shaped case just like a cobb-douglas function) If this consumer decides to NOT WORK AT...

4. Steve's utility function over leisure and consumption is given by u(L,Y)= min (3L,Y). Wage rate is w and the price of the composite consumption good is p = 1. (a) Suppose w = 5. Find the optimal leisure - consumption combination. What is the amount of hours worked? (b) Suppose the overtime law is passed so that every worker needs to be paid 1.5 times their current wage for hours worked beyond the first 8 hours. Will this law...

Leisure-labour choice 1. Mr. Cog works in a machine factory. He can work as many hours per day as he wishes at a wage rate of w. Let C be the number of dollars he spends on consumer goods and let R be the number of hours of leisure that he chooses. (a) Mr. Cog earns $8 an hour and has 18 hours per day to devote to labor or leisure, and he has $16 of nonlabor income per day....
