Question

Consider a household in the two-period consumption-savings model. The household has well-behaved preferences over period-1 and -2 consumption given by u(c₁, c₂), is constrained by their period budget constraints, Aₜ = (1 + i)Aₜ₋₁ + Yₜ − Pₜcₜ for t = 1, 2. Use the Fisher Equation to transform the period budget constraints into real terms. (HINT: You may convert one period budget constraint directly, say for t = 1, and generalize to the other.)
