Consider a consumer that lives only for two periods. She works in period 1 (and gets income Y1) and moves up the corporate ladder in period 2 (and gets income Y1 < Y2). This consumer has the usual preferences over time: u(C1) + βu(C2) Assume this consumer cannot borrow or save. 1. What is the consumption in period 1 and period 2? Display graphically. Show the corresponding utility curve.

Considering an one-period general equilibrium model similar to Example in Lecture 08, slide 11 and 12. Also the Experiment 2 from Lecture 07, slide 13 is also a good reference. However, in this model economy, there are two differences: 1. firm rent capital from consumer, and consumers are endowed with 2 units of capital (Ks = 2). 2. consumer's utility function is U(C, l) = C^(1-b)/(1-b) + l^(1-d)/(1-d) The competitive equilibrium given {G, z, ______} is a set of allocations {Y*, C*, l*, Ns, Nd, π*, T*, ______} and prices {w*, ______} such that 1. Taken prices and π, T as given, the representative consumer solves
