Question

A worker receives, when unemployed, an offer to work forever at wage w, where w is drawn from the distribution F(w). Wage offers are identically and independently distributed over time. The worker maximizes

Where ct is consumption and lt is leisure. Assume Rt is i.i.d. with distribution H(R). The budget constraint is given by

And lt + nt ≤ 1 if the worker has a job that pays wt. If the worker is unemployed, the budget constraint is at+1 ≤ Rt(at + z − ct) and lt = 1. Here z is unemployment compensation. It is assumed that u(·) is bounded and that at , the worker’s asset position, cannot be negative. This assumption corresponds to a no-borrowing assumption. Write the Bellman equation for this problem.
