Calculate permanent income, Basic Statistics

Assignment Help:

Suppose that permanent income, YP_(t) is calculated as the average of disposable income (YD_t) over the past 5 years, that is:

YP_(t)= 0.2(YD_t + YD_t-1 + YD_t-2+ YD_t-3YD_t-4)

Suppose further that consumption is given as

C = 0.9 YP_(t)

a. If you earned $20,000 per year for the past 10 years, what is your permanent income?

b. Suppose that next year, (t + 1), you earn $30,000. What is you new permanent income?

c. What is your consumption this year and next year (i.e., C_t and C_{t + 1})?

d. What is your short-run (1-year) and long-run MPC?
