1. CRRA Utility Function: Constant relative risk aversion, or CRRA, utility function has been extensively used in macroeconomic analysis to represent consumer behavior. It takes the following general form u(x)- where σ is known as the curvature parameter. For the remainder of this question assume that σ>0. Assume that a representative household in a one-period model has the following preferences over consumption and leisure where l is leisure. The budget constraint is (in nominal terms) Pc nominal wage and n...

1. For a utility function u(x) the measure of Absolute Risk Aversion is defined as Alca) = uchun Consider the utility function u(x)=1-e-axi where a is some positive parameter. Show that this utility function is for risk-averse consumer (concave utility/negative second derivative). Show that this utility function exhibits Constant Absolute Risk Aversion. Find the value of this constant.

What does a relative risk (RR) represent (The fraction in the slides-which group is the numerator and which group is the denominator). Remember a RR or OR(odds ratio) compares the risk of disease in those exposed to the risk of disease in those unexposed. What does it generally mean when you have a RR=1, RR<1or a RR>1

The elasticity of substitution with constant-relative-risk-aversion utility. Consider an individual who lives for two periods and whose utility is given by equation (2.43). Let P1 and P2 denote the prices of consumption in the two periods, and let W denote the value of the individual’s lifetime income; thus the budget constraint is P1C1 + P2C2 = W. (a) What are the individual’s utility-maximizing choices of C1 and C2, given P1, P2, and W? (b) The elasticity of substitution between consumption...
