In a two-period model, a consumer maximises Wₜ=ln (cₜ)+1/(1+θ)ln (cₜ₊₁) subject to cₜ+cₜ₊₁/(1+r)≤ yₜ+yₜ₊₁/(1+r). With θ=0.05, r=0.08, the interior equilibrium ratio cₜ₊₁/cₜ is (round off to 2 decimal places).
Also written as: In a two-period model, a consumer maximises W_t=ln (c_t)+1/(1+theta)ln (c_(t+1)) subject to c_t+(c_(t+1))/(1+r)<= y_t+(y_(t+1))/(1+r). With theta=0.05, r=0.08, the interior equilibrium ratio (c_(t+1))/c_t is (round off to 2 decimal places).
