Consider the version of the OLG model where people live for three periods. Suppose there are 200 young people born each period. Each young person receives 200 goods, but nothing when middle-aged or when old. No one consumes when young. Each young person has a chance of being either of the following types: - The “Early” Type consumes in the first period after birth; - The “Late” Type consumes in the second period after birth.

2. A consumer is making lifecycle consumption plans for two periods (this year and next year). The consumer's current real income after taxes is $100,000. She knows that her real income after taxes will be $121,000 in next year. She can borrow and lend freely at an annual real interest rate of 10%. Currently, the consumer has no wealth (no money in the bank or other financial assets, and no debts). A) If the consumer wants to consume the same...

Assume the representative consumer lives in two periods and his preferences can be described by the utility function U(c; c') = c1/3 + B(c')1/3; where c is the current consumption, c' is next period consumption, and B = 0.95. Let's assume that the consumer can borrow or lend at the interest rate r = 10%. The consumer receives an income y = 100 in the current period and y' = 110 in the next period. The government wants to spend...

A consumer's income in the current period is y=100, and income in the future period is y' =120. He or she pays lump-sum taxes t =20 in the current period and t' =10 in the future period. The real interest rate is 0.1, or 10%, per period. Also assume that this consumer likes to consume the same amount of consumption each period, that is, c = c. Questions: a) [5 points] Calculate the lifetime wealth for this consumer. b) [4...

At your age (assume 20) you can assume that you will live to be 100. If you graduate at 23 and start to work, you can expect to work for 47 years, until age 70. At that time you will be eligible for full Social Security benefits, which can reasonably be expected to be $3,000 per month, and which will be received monthly for the rest of your life. You can reasonably expect that your retirement savings will earn an...

2 Two Period Model of Consumption/Saving Decisions with Taxes (8 points) Assume a consumer who has current period income y200, future period income y-150, current taxes t = 40, and future taxes t' 50, and faces a market interest rate of r-5 percent or .05. The consumer would like to consume such that e'=e*(1+r) if possible. However, this consumer is faced with a credit market imperfection, in that no borrowing is allowed. That is s must be greater or equal...

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...
