The rep- resentative consumer has preferences over bundles of consumption goods c, and leisure ', satisfying the standard properties: more is preferred to less; preference for diversity; normality. The consumer is endowed with an endowment of total hours h. The represen- tative firm faces a constant returns to scale production function Y = zF(K, Nd), where Y is output of consumption goods, z is TFP, K is physical capital, and Nd is labour 1 input. The amount of capital is assumed to be given and fixed. The firm is owned by the household, and as a result any real firm profits will be distributed to the consumer in the form of dividends, denoted II.
