Assume Peter's preferences over time (periods are yearly) are given by U(C₁, C2, C3, C4, ....) = ln(c₁) + ßln(c₂) + ß²ln(c3)+ Assume that Peter can borrow or lend at the same rate r=10% and ß= 1 1.15 Then, we know the following about how Peters consumption changes over time: Peters consumption declines the older he gets. Peters consumption increases the older he gets Peters consumption is constant over his life-time We can't tell anything about his consumption level because we have not been given any information about his income over his life-time.

Assume i=0%, beta=1. Consumer has income of 80 in year 1, 100 in year 2. Now suppose gov't gives consumers a free check of 10 in year 1. Suppose consumers are naive (they don't anticipate the free check is financed by borrowing from China, which needs to be paid back through more tax in period 2). Consumer actually consumes ____ in year 2. Hint: when consumers are naive, they will believe they have 80+10=90 income in period 1, and 100 income in period 2. Hint 2: when year 2 comes, gov't needs to pay back the debt.

QUESTION TWOConsider the consumption function is given byC = 200 + 0.75YDWhere YD is disposable income Suppose that the economy faces an investment function of the formI = 200 – 25r.Suppose further that G =T = 100 and the money demand function takes the form(M/P) = Y – 100r.The money supply M is 1,000 and Price level P is 2Required:(i) Formulate the IS equation and the LM equation.(ii) Find the equilibrium interest rate and the equilibrium level of income. (iii) If government expenditure increases by 50, by how much does the IS curveshift? (iv) If the money supply increases by 200. How much does the LM curve shift?
1. Let's use the Euler equation two ways. First, to find out the optimal consump- tion path, taking the interest rate as given (Chapter 9 of GLS) and then to find out the equilibrium interest rate that wil Choose sidebar display for saving and investment, taking the consumption path as given (Chapter 11 of GLS). Both times, the utility function will be the same: Uln(c)+0.9ln(+1) So the future counts 90% as much as the present. In Part 1, income each period is 100, and the interest rate is 20%. In Part 2, consumption in each period is 100-in other words, income each period is 100, but income isn't storable (it's "manna"), so you have to consume it or lose it. Answer the following questions. Part 1: What is optimal consumption each period? In period t of this two- period world, will this person be borrowing or saving or neither? ⚫ Part 2: What is the equilibrium interest rate between these two periods? If the equilbrium interest rate were lower than that level, would that create a…

Bora's income in the current period is y=200, and income in the future period is y'=250. He pays lump-sum taxes t=30 in the current period and t'=10 in the future period. The real interest rate is 5%, per period.Suppose that Bora will always choose current consumption, c and the future consumption, c′ in a constant proportion:c=32c′ a) Determine the optimal current-period and future-period consumption for Bora. b) Determine the optimal saving for Bora, and show this in a diagram with his budget constraint and indifference curves, and also determine if Bora is a lender or a borrower?

The interest rate and the level of investment spending in the economy are at point D on the investment demand curve. To achieve the long-run goal of a noninflationary full-employment output Qr in the economy, the Fed should: decrease aggregate demand by increasing the interest rate from 2 to 4 percent. decrease aggregate demand by increasing the interest rate from 4 to 6 percent. increase the level of investment spending from $120 billion to $150 billion.
