Consider an economy in which the population follows the rule N t = 1.1 N t -1.
Question:
Consider an economy in which the population follows the rule Nt = 1.1 Nt-1. In addition, suppose that endowments per young person grow each period according to yt = 1.05yt-1. Assume old people do not receive any endowments. Assume that a young person’s preferences are such that they want to consume one-half of their endowment so that c1, t = 0.5yt. Compute the rate at which transfers by young people can be converted into transfers received when old, that is, the conversion rate for this economy.
