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...

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....

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...

Kirpa is trying to decide how many hours to work each week. Her utility is given by the following function: U(C,H) = C2 H3 , where C represents weekly consumption and H represents weekly leisure hours. Her marginal utility with respect to consumption is MUc = 2CH3 , and her marginal utility with respect to leisure is MUH = 3C2 H2 . A) Find Kirpa's optimal H, L and C when w=$7.50 and a = $185. B) Suppose w increases...

Problem 5 Assume that a worker has the Utility Function U(C,L) C "C" refers to consumption in dollars and "L" to hours of leisure in a day. The worker has an offered wage of $10 per hour, 20 hours available for leisure or work per day, and $30 dollars a day from non- labour income. o 8.60 L (a) Find the budget constraint equation of the individual. (b) Find the optimal choice for the individual in terms of units of...

A worker's preferences over consumption (c) and leisure (l) can be represented by U(cl) = cl. The price of consumption is given by p = 1 and the wage by w=1 (a) Suppose we measure leisure in hours per day such that the maximum value I can take is 24. Let's represent hours worked by h; then we have h = 24-1. Write the Budget Constraint of this worker in terms of c and l. (b) Explain briefly why w/p...

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...

Pierre values consuming goods (C) and enjoying leisure (l). Pierre has h = 1 units of time to divide between working and enjoying leisure. For each hour worked, he receives w = 1 units of the consumption good. Suppose that Pierre’s preferences are described by the the utility function U(C, l) = C 2/3 l 1/3 . Pierre also owns shares in a factory which gives him an additional π = 0.125 units of income. The government in this economy...

Problem #1: Optimal labor supply Clark gains utility from consumption c and leisure l and his preferences for consumption and leisure can be expressed as U(c, l) = 2(√ c)(l). This utility function implies that Clark’s marginal utility of leisure is 2√ c and his marginal utility of consumption is l √ c . He has 16 hours per day to allocate between leisure (l) and work (h). His hourly wage is $12 after taxes. Clark also receives a daily...

ії. Imagine a worker who s preferences for non work tme (h) and resources to spend on all other good (r2) can be represented using a Cobb-Douglas utility function as described above. In this case, the parameter a captures this worker's taste for time spent not working compared to having some income. Using this setup, answer the folowing questions. (a) The worker is trying to divide 10 hrs of his day between work and non-work time, and has no other...
