5. Consumer preferences fluctuate across time. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic,consumers value current leisure more than all other goods since market work exposes them to virusinfection. Thus, the disruption is identified as a huge adverse labor supply shock in the economy.Suppose that a representative consumer chooses (c, d, l, l') to maximize her utility u(c, c', l, l') sub-ject to a real lifetime budget constraintc+wl +1w'+ -I' ≤ wh+T+1+r 1+rw'h + π'1 + rThe consumer also make a decision on money holdingmDm² = pL(y,r)where P denotes the nominal price level, y is the real GDP, and r denotes the real interest rate.Assume that the money supply ms is fixed and exogenous.The firm in this economy chooses the amount physical capital investment i and the amount of laborthey hire in the first and second period, nD and nD', to maximize the profitII = π +πT'1+rwhereπ =zF(k,n) - wn-iT' = 2F (k', n') + (1 - 8)k' -w'n'k' = (1-8)k + i.Consider the adverse labor supply shock is powerful enough so that in equilibrium, leisure increasesand current consumption falls.
