Question 2 (22 pts.) Consider a representative agent with preferences over consumption c and leisure I represented by Uel)Inc + InI. Her budget constraint is c S wN, where w is the wage rate and N -the number of hours worked. The representative agent also chooses how to allocate her time between work and leisure activities given her time constraint 1 + N = h, where h is the total number of hours. a) (2 pt.) Combine the budget constraint...

Problem 2. Consider a consumer has Cobb-Douglas preferences over two goods 21 and 22, given by u (21, 22) = 7 ln 21 + In 22. Let pı = 5 and p2 = 3 be the prices of the two goods, and suppose the agent has income I = 20. Suppose there is rationing of goods, so that in addition to paying for goods, the agent must have the appropriate number of coupons. Suppose, the agent begins...
Question 1: Households A household's utility over consumption C and leisure l is U - U(C,0) Cl 1. Plot the household's indifference curve for U-80 for values of C andlless than 20 (i.e. find the curve containing all combinations of C and ( such that U(C, 0) 80) The household has a time endowment of h=16 hours per day. The wage rate per hour is w 1.25. The household's labour income is therefore wNs, where N-h-l-16- l is the time...
22) Consider the following consumption choice between x1 and 2 for an individual who has a classical utility function (eg, no Thayler's utility). Only consider they are looking for an interior solution. (10pts) U(X, X) = 6x} +8xź MU( x ) = 12x MU(X) = 16X2 Subject to the budget constraint: 1000 = 5.X1 +4. X2 a. Find the optimal consumption bundle. (4 pts) b. Find the utility at this point. (1 pt) C. Show work (5 pts)
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...
Question 13 1 pts The following graphs shows eight different budget constraints (from A to H) for a consumer who consumes Fish and/or Chips. Which of the following illustrates how the budget constraint will change if the price of Fish were to decrease? Fish Fish D B c A 0 Chips Chips Fish Fish G H F 0 Chips Chips Cto D D to C Fto E E to F Question 20 1 pts Refer to the graph below where...
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...
Competitive Equilibrium (10 pts) Consider an economy with a representative consumer, a representative firm, and a government. • The consumer can work up to h hours at an hourly rate of w. She only gets utility from consumption and does not care about how much she works. Their preferences are represented by the utility function U(C, l) = ln(C). The consumer also owns an exogenously given K units of capital, which they can rent to the firms at a price...
