Explain the criticism of life cycle theory of consumption and highlight the importance of economic models
Please write down whether the following statements are true or false, and explain your answer very briefly A)If actual investment is greater than planned investment, inventories increase more than planned. B)The marginal propensity to consume is the change in consumption expenditure divided by the percentage change in income. C)Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of all goods and services produced in an economy over a particular time period. D)Monetary policy refers to taxation and spending policies implemented by government. E)In a simple Keynesian model (with lump-sum taxes and a MPC of 0.8), a tax cut of 20 billion TL will have less of an impact on GDP than an increase in government spending of 10 billion TL. D)When you take 1000 TL from your savings account and deposit it in your checking account, M2 decreases. F)An open market purchase of government securities (such as Treasury Bills) by the Central Bank will decrease the money supply and raise the interest rate.…
The life cycle model of consumption argues that people consume and save in different proportions as they age. Seniors tend to consume more than save as their lives adjust to the realities of old age. Assuming the hypothesis is true, how would the aging of the very large baby boomer generation affect consumption and income?
Smoothing consumption and income are motivations for several actions that individuals take- saving, borrowing, lending, investment... it is also an optimal individual choice to overcome the impacts of unemployment and recession. Write an essay on the role, importance and methods of consumption (and income) smoothing in the study of macroeconomics. You may use figures, diagrams and tables to suppprt your answer.

2.1 According to the permanent income hypothesis, how will a representative consumer's bor- rowing and consumption respond to: 1. An anticipated temporary decrease in income at t = 2. 2. An anticipated permanent decrease in income (at time periods t = 1 and t = 2) when it occurs. 3. Are the answers different if the changes in income are unanticipated, i.e. if they come as a surprise to the consumer? Comment on the size of the marginal propensity to consume.
