3. Consider a intertemporal choice problem for a saver. Say the saver has some amount of wealth today given by w > 0, can consumer or save this wealth, and if they save the wealth, on savings they receive a return of r> 0 on every unit of wealth invested. Preference are U(C,C2) = u(c) + Bu(C2) where the discount factor is B E (0, 1) and the utility function u(c) = c. a. If you over this consumer 1...

You are given $5,000 and offered a choice between receiving an extra $2,500 with certainty or flipping a coin and getting $5,000 if heads or $0 if tails. Which option do you prefer? a) You are indifferent between the two options. b) You would choose $2,500 because the certain $2,500 is more valuable than the uncertain $5,000. c) You would choose uncertain $5,000. d) None of the above.
explain two criticisms of the intertemporal choice model from behavioural economics which explain high borrowing by households
The Certainty Company (CC) operates in a world of certainty. It has just hired Matt (age 20) who will retire at age 65, draw retirement benefits for 15 years, and die at age 80. Matt's salary is $20,000 per year, but wages are expected to increase at the 5% annual rate of inflation. CC has a defined benefit plan in which workers receive 1% of the final year's wage for each year employed. The retirement benefit, once started, does not...
An investor has utility function U(x) = x1/4 for salary. He has a new job offer which pays $80,000 with a bonus. The bonus will be $0, $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, $40,000, $50,000, or $60,000, each with equal probability. What is the certainty equivalent of this job offer?
Buying and selling prices for risky investments obviously are related to certainty equiva- lents. This problem, however, shows that the prices depend on exactly what is owned in the first place! Suppose that Peter Brown's utility for total wealth (A) can be represented by the utility function U(A) In(A). He currently has $1000 in cash. A business deal of interest to him yields a reward of $100 with probability 0.5 and $0 with probability 0.5. a If he owns this...
If you are an intertemporal optimizer with a target income for the month, do you work more or fewer hours? Group of answer choices Fewer today, fewer for the month. More today, fewer for the month. More today, more for the month. Fewer today, more for the month.
Significant Figures- Questions For the following measurements, underline the digits that are known with certainty and highlight in color the digits that are estimated. If a number is ambiguous, that is, the mumber of significant figures is uncertain, state so. In each case, explain your reasoning. 3) a) 4.35 m b) 0.009340 g c) 3400 km d) 1.38 x 103 m/s
2) Assuming a recovery rate of 40% which is known with certainty, is there a maximum value a CDS can be worth? Is there a minimum value?
