Consider a one-period model in which the representative consumer maximizes the utility U(C,L) = InC + y •L, where C
is private consumption, L is leisure and where y is a utility parameter. The consumer works N hours, gets paid an
hourly wage rate w, receives dividend income from the firm and pays lump-sum taxes T. All income is spent on
private consumption goods. The time endowment constraint is N+L=h. The representative firm produces goods using
the technology of production ZN and pays workers' compensation of wN. In equilibrium, labor supplied by the
consumer and labor demanded by the firm are equal, and denoted by N. The goods market also clears.
Answer parts a) and b) below.
a). Let y = 0.04, T = 36, z = 2, h = 100. Solve for a competitive equilibrium in this model. Round your answers to 2
decimal places.
Leisure equals
Labor equals
Private consumption equals
b). Now suppose that the utility parameter y increases. This means that
A. consumption C will decrease and leisure L will increase
B. consumption C will increase and leisure L will decrease
