1 (A life-eyele model with social security) In society there are individuals who
work in the first period and retire in the second period. The population grows atrate at
m per period, Luis the labor force at time tand Alis the retiree at time t Population
growth rate nimplies that 太一(+站1 and太一(+月4 Each worker at time
eams a wage of W, Each aged retiree receives benefits of b Now the society
implements the pay-as-you-go social security system, so the govemment collects tax
mate of to balance the revenue and cost which implies the total tax
五= WE =为=有4, Suppose each individual has the unique utility function
HL+计1,where the argument of the u function is firstperiod consumption and the
argument of the v function is consumption during retirement u and v have the same
function form. The retum rate of savingisp

3) Assume individuals are partly myopia(A is mhe fraction of myopes and -AL is the
fiaction of life-cyclers, Life-cyclers have the ability to smooth the consumption to
maximize their utility and have no difference between the first period and the second
period)
