Consider the decisions of a representative consumer whose preferences are given by:
u(C,1) = In C+ Inl
where C is the quantity of consumption and 1 is the quantity of leisure.
The consumer faces two constraints.
The time constraint is given by 1 + N³ = 1, with N³ as the time spent working (or the labor
supply). Further, consumer take wages as given and obtain after-tax labor income that is equal to
w(1t)Ns where t is the income tax rate (0 < t < 1). Thus the consumer's budget constraint is
given by
C = w(1 − t)(1 − 1) + π
where is the real dividend income received from the representative firm (i.e. firm profits).
