The Great Recession of 2007-2009 hit young people particularly hard, with long-lasting effects. The U.S. unemployment rate for 20- to 24-year-olds went from 8.5% in 2007 to 16% in 2009, stayed above 13% through 2012, but fell to 7% by the first half of 2018. As a result, more adult children moved back to live with their parents or asked for financial help than in previous years. The share of 25- to 34-year-olds living in multigenerational households rose from 11% in 1980 to 15% in 2016. A recent survey finds that 41% of parents provide financial support to their 23- to 28-year-old offspring. Indeed, parents give 10% of their income on average to their adult children. Mimi wants to support her son Jeff if he looks for work but not otherwise. Jeff (unlike most young people) wants to try to find a job only if his mother will not support his life of indolence. Mimi and Jeff's payoff matrix is illustrated in the figure to the right. If Jeff and Mimi choose actions simultaneously, what are…

Consider the lottery that assigns a probability T of obtaining a level of consumption CH and a probability 1-T of obtaining a low level of consumption c, with CH > C1. Consider an individual facing such a lottery with utility function u(c) that has the properties that more is better (that is, a strictly positive marginal utility of consumption at all levels of c) and diminishing marginal utility of consumption, u"(c) < 0. As usual, we are using the shorthand u'(c) consumption and u"(c) = " = dư ( to be the second derivative of the utility function (which is also the derivative of the first derivative of the utility function). du(c) for the first derivative of the utility function with respect to dc du(c) dc2 du' (c) dc
