4. Consider a two period model with investment Imagine a preference shock that increases the representative consumer's utility for leisure. Therefore, the consumer chooses to consume more current leisure and less current consumption, and more future leisure and less future consumption. (everything else is equal) given the initial real interest rate r; a) What effect this preference shock has on labor supply curve? b) What effect this preference shock has on labor demand curve? c) What effect this preference shock has on output supply curve?
Q3. Consider the following Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = AL K1-0 where 0 = 0.25 Assuming settings of Neo-Classical theory of investment derive the following: a. Function representing the current value of desired stock of capital. b. Current value of desired stock of capital when output is 5 billion $ while rental cost is 0.12. c. Now suppose output is expected to rise to 7 billion $, find corresponding value in desired stock of capital? d. How would you define value of investment in the given context of discussion?

Suppose that conditions in the economy are such that the after-tax expected real interest rate is described by the equationRa = a X gWhere a is a number that depends on how people value their consumption in one period compared with another period, and g is the growth rate of the economy. The a equals 1 when people prefer consumption to be balanced, with the same amount of consumption each period; a may be bigger than the one when people prefer consumption today over consumption in the future, with a being larger and larger the more impatient people are:D - Beginning with the situation in part a, if the expected inflation rate declings to 0.01, what are the new values of the equilibrium nominal interest rate and the before tax expected real interest rate?E - From these results, what general conclusions can you draw about the relationship between the nominal interest rate and the rate of economic growth, the tax rate, and the inflation rate? what about the relationship between the before…

Draw a steep IS curve and shallow IS curve. Explain how differences in the assumed sensitivity of investment to the interest rate give rise to IS curves with different slopes.
Long Question 2 of 2: given by - Consider the short run model of Chapter 13. The IS curve is Ỹ, = ā – b(R, –7) (7) where Y, is the short run output, R, is the real interest rate, ř is the long-run interest rate (or the marginal product of capital). The term ā is the aggregate demand parameter. Also, b captures how responsive investment is to changes in the real interest rate. Moreover, the Phillips curve is given by The = Tt-1 + vY; + ō (8) The term v captures changes in inflation as a response to changes in the current economic conditions, and ō captures shocks in the supply side of the economy. The monetary authority in this economy wishes to keep inflation at a certain "target" level ī. Whenever there is discrepancy between current inflation and target inflation, the central bank responds by changing the interest rate according to the rule Rt -ř = m(T; – ñī) (9) where m is a positive parameter (i.e., ñ > 0) that captures how aggressive the monetary policy is. 1 1 of 5) Derive the…
Suppose the economy is in medium-run equilibrium. If the risk premium increases from 3 3 to 4%, how must the central bank change rn to maintain the existing medium-run equilibrium? The central bank needs to increase the real policy interest rate by 1 1 % in order to keep r+ x unchanged. The central bank needs to decrease the real policy interest rate by 1% in order to keep the r+x unchanged. The central bank should adjust the real policy rate until it equals 3%. O The central bank should adjust the real policy rate until it equals 4%.
