Answer-27 The correct option is D.) 9%
Social discount rate = pure rate of time preference + elasticity of marginal utility of consumption * growth rate = 1% + 2 * 4% = 1% + 8% = 9%.

A consumer uses his income I for the consumption of two goods ?1 and ?2. He maximises utility at given product prices ?1, ?2. His preferences with respect to both products can be described by an ordinal utility function ?(?1,?2), which exhibits a decreasing marginal rate of substitution (normal preferences). Please indicate whether the following statements are right or wrong in this context. If a statement is wrong, then describe briefly what is wrong (one sentence). a) A double value...

2. TIME PREFERENCE In class, we solved a two-period savings model where a consumer allocates income across two periods. We assumed the consumer’s intertemporal utility function was given by: U(c1,c2) = log(c1) + δlog(c2) and that their intertemporal budget constraint was M1 + M2 = c1 + c2 . 1+r 1+r Along the way to solving that problem, we found that consumers should select their consumption in each period so that: u′(c1) = δ(1 + r)u′(c2), where δ is the...

Question 1. (Consumption-Saving Problem): Suppose that a consumer lives for two periods. The utility function of the consumer is given by 1-1 1-1 with μ > 0 where c1 and c2 are consumption in period 1 and period 2 respectively (Portfolio Choice Problem) Now suppose that the consumer can save in terms of two instruments: financial savings (s) and capital investment (k). Capital investment done in period 1 yields output ka with 0 < α < 1 in period 2....
