1.8. Consider an income guarantee program with an income guarantee of $5,000 and a benefit reduction rate of 40%. A person can work up to 2,000 hours per year at $10 per hour.
a. Draw the person’s budget constraint with the income guarantee.
b. Suppose that the income guarantee rises to $7,500 but with a 60% reduction rate. Draw the new budget constraint.
c. Which of these two income guarantee programs is more likely to discourage work? Explain.
d. Draw a system of smooth indifference curves that bend the right way but would lead an agent to work more under the program you chose in part (c) than under the other program. Describe what seems extreme about these curves that leads to the unusual behavior.

Suppose that Anna can work up to 2,000 hours per year at a wage of $15.00 per hour, that he has no other source of income, and there is not yet TANF program in place. Draw her budget constraint (name it Figure 3.1). Explain how you constructed the graph. What is the slope of the budget constraint? Explain the slope. (b) Now, let’s introduce a TANF program. Consider an income guarantee program with an income guarantee of $4,000 and a...

HI, I need a help with the part (b) of this question. I have the solution guide book but it won't help me. I want a detail explanation. Here is the problem: 1. Consider an income guarantee program with an income guarantee of $3,000 and a benefit reduction rate of 50%. A person can work up to 2,000 hours per year at $6 per hour. Alice, Bob, Calvin, and Deborah work for 100, 333 ⅓, 400, and 600 hours, respectively,...

. Suppose under TANF your state provides an income guarantee of $7,000 and a benefit reduction rate of 60%. The typical recipient can work up to 2,000 hours per year at a wage of $8 per hour. What would be the effective take-home wage rate if the recipient works 50 hours per year?

Suppose a single parent can work up to 16 hours per day at a wage rate...
Suppose a single parent can work up to 16 hours per day at a wage rate of $ 10 per hour. Various income maintenance programs have been developed to assure a minimum level of income for low-income families, such as AFDC (see Problem 2). One of the problems with AFDC is that benefits were reduced by $ 1 for every dollar earned. An alternative income maintenance program is Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which also offers a no-work benefit...

Draw a graph with leisure on the horizontal axis and income on the vertical axis. Assume 320 discretionary hours in a month, that can be used for labor or leisure, and that the wage is $10 an hour. Draw the budget constraint, and an indifference curve corresponding to choosing a full time 160 hour a month job. Label earnings. Assume the family would qualify for $600 in TANF benefits each month if hours of labor are zero. The program offers a $225 earned...

2. Consider a Universal Basic Income (UBI) program: every person over age 18 is given $10,000 per year, regardless of their labor income or assets. Suppose there is no other welfare system or benefits for the poor. a. Draw a person’s budget constraint with the program, and without the program (that is, with no government help). Be sure to label which is which. b. Using income and substitution effects, explain the theoretical effect of the UBI program on people’s labor...

A person chooses between leisure and consumption. All of their consumption comes from current income. The utility derived from any combination of leisure and consumption is given by U- YL-88Y where U is utility, L is the hours of leisure per week and Yis the number of dollars of income all of which will be spent on consumption. The person can work as many hours as they wish during the week at a constant wage of $4 per hour. There...

Gina works at a diner. She has 100 hours each week to spend at labor/leisure, earns a wage of $15 per hour, and works in a fancy modern restaurant that doesn't involve tips from customers. She has no sources of non-labor income, but she does have to pay $200 per week in childcare for her precious baby Carlos (regardless of how many hours she actually utilizes the childcare). Her utility function is U 1. 0.001CL2 (3 points) Each week she...
