Consumption-Savings Consider a consumer with a lifetime utility function U = u(Ct) + _u(Ct+1) that satisfies all the standard assumptions listed in the book. The period t and t + 1 budget constraints are Ct + St = Yt Ct+1 + St+1 = Yt+1 + (1 + r)St (a) What is the optimal value of St+1? Impose this optimal value and derive the lifetime budget constraint. (b) Derive the Euler equation. Explain the economic intuition of the equa- tion. (c)...

Consider the two-period model from Chapter 9, and assume there is one representative consumer with utility function uc,d) = Iníc) + In(d), so the time discount factor is 3 = 1. There is also a government that levies lump-sum taxes in the current and future periods. The government has expenditures of G = 580 in the current period and G' = 630 in the future period. (a) Suppose the consumer has current and future income (w.y') = (3500, 6510), and...

2. An review of intertemporal optimization: Suppose a consumer's utility function is given by U(c,2) where ci is consumption in period 1 and ca is consumption in perio You can assume that the price of consumption does not change between periods 1 and 2. The consumer has $100 at the beginning of period 1 and uses this money to fund consumption across the two periods (i.e. the consumer does not gain additional income...

For Question 12 to 15, let the utility function of the household be U(c,d) = ln(c) + Bln(c'), where B is a parameter between 0 and 1, and assume that there is always an interior solution to the household's problem. 12. What is the marginal rate of substitution of current consumption for future con- sumption MRS given this utility function? How does it change with c and c'? 13. Solve the household's optimization problem with the lifetime budget constraint. That...

Question 1 (3 Points): Assume a consumer has current-period income y = 120, future-period income y' = 140, current and future taxes t = 20 and t' = 10, respectively, and faces a market real interest rate of r = 0.08, or 8% per period. The consumer has the following preferences over current and future consumption: U(c, c') = min(4c, 3c'). a) (1 points) Determine the consumer's lifetime wealth. b) (2 points) Determine what the consumer's optimal current-period and future-period...

Question 1. (Consumption-Saving Problem): Suppose that a consumer lives for two periods. The utility function of the consumer is given by with u> 0 where c and c2 are consumption in period 1 and period 2 respectively. Sup- pose that consumer has income y in the first period, but has no income in the second period. Consumer has to save in the first period in order to consume in the second period. Let s be the savings in the first...
