4. The intertemporal budget constraint with three periods: Consider an economy that exists for three periods: period 1, period 2, and period 3. In each period, the government must satisfy the budget constraint B,-1=( )B; + G - I 1. Write this budget constraint for each period. 2. What must be true about B4? 3. Using the result from part (b), solve the period 3 budget constraint for B, and substitute this back into the period 2 budget constraint. 4. Solve this new version of the period 2 budget constraint for B2 and substitute the result back into the period 1 budget constraint. 5. At this point, you should have the intertemporal budget constraint for the three-period economy. Interpret this equation.

Let's incorporate the labor-leisure trade-off and capital income taxes in the two-period model. Let c₁, c₂ be consumption in two periods, I the number of hours worked, Te Te the proportional taxes on consumption in 2 periods, s the saving rate, w the wage rate, b pension in the 2nd period, and 7, the tax on savings (capital income tax). The household's maximization problem in this case is: given by maxe₁,e2,8,1-1 log(c₁) + log (1-1)+5log (c₂) such that (1+T₂) C₁+8 = (1-7)wl and (1+T₂)C₂ = [1+r(1-Ts)]s+b, where measures how the household values leisure vis-a-vis consumption.
You are an economic advisor to the government. Discuss your opinion . a) How COVID-19 pandemic will affect the consumption behavior as well as the investment done by the firms and household for the next two years? b) What are the actions or policies that the government can implement to face this situation? please answers with analysis and --graph (if possible)
1. How much is $1 million to be delivered 20 years in the future worth today if the interest rate is 20 percent? 2. As the interest rate rises, does the intertemporal budget constraint become steeper or flatter? 3. Would the assumption that goods are perfect substitutes be valid in a study of intertemporal food purchases?
Intertemporal budget constraint. Budget line 1: Y1 = $900. Y2 = $600. The interest rate is 12 percent, both for borrowing and saving. Utility = C15C27 Draw the budget line, with solved numbers. Solve the optimal consumption levels to choose in time 1 and time 2.
3) Suppose the economy is closed and is characterized by the following behavioral equations: C=C₁₂ +G₁Y₂ Y₂=Y-T 1=b₂ + b₂Y a. Government spending and taxes are constant. Solve for the equilibrium output. b. What is the value of the multiplier? How does the relationship between investment and output affect the value of the multiplier as compared to the case when investment was exogenous? For the multiplier to be positive what condition must ( + b) satisfy? Explain your answers? bo C. Suppose that the parameter sometimes called business confidence, increases. How will the equilibrium output be affected? Will investment change by more or less than the change in bo? 'Why? What will happen to national saving?
Suppose that y =100 (income today) • y' = 150 (income tomorrow) 10% (interest rate on bonds) %3D r = • t = 10 (taxes today) • t' = 10 (taxes tomorrow) Suppose that c = 100. Is the consumer borrowing or saving, today? And what will her budget constraint look tomorrow? The consumer is borrowing. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 - 10*(1.1) = 129 The consumer is saving. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 + 10*(1.1) = 151 O The consumer is neither borrowing nor saving - she is breaking even. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 = 140 O The consumer is saving. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 + 10*(1.1) = 161 %D
1. Use the Method of Lagrange to solve this problem. To do so, construct the La- grangean function for this problem. Use λ1 as the Lagrange multiplier attached to the period 1 budget constraint and λ2 as the Lagrange multiplier attached to the period 2 budget constraint.

Solve for the equilibrium output. What is the value of the multiplier? How does the relationship between investment and output affect the value of the multiplier as compared to the case when investment was exogenous? For the multiplier to be positive what condition must (c₁ +b₁ ) satisfy? Explain your answers? b. Suppose that the parameter bo, sometimes called business confidence, increases.

Oliver gets an allowance of $100 this week and $112 next week. Let c₁ and c₂ be his consumption (measured in units of stuff) this and next week, correspondingly. The price of one unit of stuff this week is $10. Next week, the price will be $14 because of inflation. Assume that the interest rate i (both for borrowing and lending) is 0.05. Write down the intertemporal budget constraint. Note, the prices shown already has inflation built into them. You do not have to reduce the budget constraint further.
4) Suppose the economy is closed and is characterized by the following behavioral equations: a. b. C. d. C=C₂+GY₂ Y₂ = Y-T 1=b₂ + b₂Y Government spending and taxes are constant. Suppose that consumers decide to consume less (and therefore to save more) for any given amount of disposable income. Specifically assume that consumer confidence () falls. What will happen to output? As a result of the effect on output you determined in part (a), what will happen to investment? What will happen to public saving? What will happen to private saving? Explain. What is the effect on consumption? Suppose that consumers had decided to increase consumption expenditure, so that Co had increased. What would have been the effect on output, investment, and private saving in this case? Explain. What would have been the effect on consumption? Comment on the following logic: "when output is too low, what is needed is an increase in demand for goods and services. Investment is one component of demand, and…
