Jane, who works for the economic research department in a multinational corporation, is preparing a report for the advisory board of the company. The report intends to clarify in which country they should invest given the expected change in
no, we should calculate instead the income elasticity for the consumption of the good the company sells in each country.
There is no statistic that can illuminate the advisory board on this problem.
yes, because the derivative tells us that for each unit of increase in income for country A, the demand will increase more than in country B.
no, we should calculate instead the
no, we should calculate instead the marginal rate of substitution for each country.

- 3. Anya has a two-period horizon. She has the utility function u(c1, c2) = 2ln(cı) + In(c2), where c; is her consumption in period j. Her income is Mj in period j. Assume that M1 = 7,000 and M2 = 9,600. The interest rate at which she can borrow and lend is 20%. (i) Find the equation for Anya's budget line. (ii) Find her optimal bundle. (iii) Explain whether her utility would rise or fall if the interest rate were to fall slightly. (iv) Now Explain why her optimal bundles here and in (ii) are related as they are! əsoddns that the interest rate is again 20% and Anya has M1 = 0 and M2 = 18,000.arrow_forwardRobin Hood is 23 years old and has accumulated $4,000 in her self-directed defined contribution pension plan. Each year she contributes $2,000 to the plan, and her employer contributes an equal amount. Robin thinks she will retire at age 67 and figures she will live to age 81. The plan allows for two types of investments. One offers a 3.5% risk-free real rate of return. The other offers an expected return of 10% and has a standard deviation of 23%. Robin now has 5% of her money in the risk-free investment and 95% in the risky investment. She plans to continue saving at the same rate and keep the same proportions invested in each of the investments. Her salary will grow at the same rate as inflation. What is the expected value of Robin's risky assets at retirement?arrow_forwardCompute the two-year nominal interest rate (12) using the exact formula and the approximation formula for each set of assumptions listed in the following tables. The assumptions are in each table's first three columns: they give values for the current one-year interest rate (it), next year's expected one-year interest rate (i+1), and the term premium on a two-year bond (x). Enter your response for the approximate rate as calculated; for the exact rate, round your response to three decimal places. Term Premium 0% 1₁t 2% 1₁t+1 3% Exact int % Approx. 12t %arrow_forward

- In a time series regression of the excess return of a mutual fund on a constant and the excess return on a market index, which of the following statements should be true for the fund manager to be considered to have “beaten the market” in a statistical sense? Select one: a. The estimate for Beta (parameter) should be positive and statistically significant b. The estimate for Beta (parameter) should be positive and statistically significant c. The estimate for Beta (parameter) should be positive and statistically significantly greater than the risk-free rate of return d. The estimate for Beta (parameter) should be negative and statistically significant.arrow_forwardThe formula for the is curve can be derived from the formula Y = [CO+MPC(Y-T)]+1+G. When the IS curve is derived, I and G are assumed constant and Y varies based on the interest rate r.

- 9.5.018. As part of their investment strategy, the Carringtons have decided to put $100,000 into stock market investments and also into purchasing precious metals. The performance of the investments depends on the state of the economy in the next year. In an expanding economy, it is expected that their stock market investment will outperform their investment in precious metals, whereas an economic recession will have precisely the opposite effect. Suppose the following payoff matrix gives the expected percentage increase or decrease in the value of each investment for each state of the economy.
