Problem 2: Consider a representative consumer whose preferences
over consumption and leisure are given by the following utility
function: U˜(C, l) = U(C) + V (l) (2) where U(.) and V (.) are
twice differentiable functions (that is, their first and second
derivatives exist). Suppose that this consumer faces lump-sum
taxes, T, and receives dividend income, Π, from the 100% ownership
of shares of the representative firm.
A) Write down the consumer’s optimization problem and the
first-order conditions determining optimal...
