Document Summary

Price supply and demand are that price is determined by the market are jointly determined by the interaction of. So price t quantity are the determined by model. All other variables were used to demand input prices preferences technology are taken as given variables think endogenous about supply are exogenous variables to be that. The 2 variables the model for functions to solve the 2 unknowns are our. 2 unknowns that we for we need 2 t these are the supply equations to. Demand use solve that a finished the a set kind of stopping rule. Every model needs some tells us when we"ve solved the model analysis for many economic models the stopping rule of equilibrium conditions. In the background were households have solved their problems profit maximization utility maximization. S the firms r t p equilibrium a. Solving for equilibrium form of d g q.

Country A is located on a small island that is isolated from the outside world. The country
has one representative consumer, whose preference is represented by:
U(c, l) = ln(c) + ln(l)
There is one representative fi rm in the economy which is owned by the consumer, it produces
one type of good that can be used for consumption or government expenditure using capital
and labour as inputs. The fi rm owns the capital it uses and it's production technology is
represented by
F(K;N) = zK^aN^1-a
where z is the total factor productivity, and a is the capital share of income. The fi rm pays
all of its profit back to consumer as dividend.
The government of country A spend a predetermined G amount of goods to provide public
services, and it taxes consumer through a lump-sum tax t to finance the expenditure. the
government's budget is balanced:
G = t
Now, suppose that the firm cannot change its capital stock, or improve its production technology in the short period, such that z and K are given.
(a) When describing this economy as an macroeconomic model, what is the set of exogenous
variables? What is the set of endogenous variables that can be determined given the set
of exogenous variables using the concept of Competitive Equilibrium?
(b) Defi ne the competitive equilibrium for this economy, be specific about what it is, what
conditions have to be satisfied who solves what problem and etc.
(c) List the set of equations that will be used to determine all of the endogenous variables.
Which four of these endogenous variables are essentials, such that once you know these
four, all other endogenous variables can be obtained easily?
(d) Write down the four equations that can be used to solve for these four essential endogenous variables, and describe where do they come from. Describe in details the steps of
how would you solve for the competitive equilibrium (without actually solving for it ).
(e) Setup the Social planner's problem for this economy. What is the marginal condition
that pins down the planner's choices.
(f) Now, describe what would happen to c, l, and w if the firm had more capital, such
that Knew > Kold.
