Math Problem Statement
solve for c(l)
Solution
To solve for , we need to express the utility function explicitly in terms of consumption and leisure , given a specific utility level , and then solve for .
Restating the Setup:
We are given the utility function:
where and . We need to solve the utility equation for at a given .
Steps to Solve for :
- Set the utility equation equal to : [ \frac{(W(1 - l))^{1

Formulas
Utility Function: u(c, l) = (c^(1-σ) - 1) / (1 - σ) + (l^(1-σ) - 1) / (1 - σ)
Consumption: c = W(1 - l)
Utility Level: ũ = 2(0.5^(1-σ) - 1) / (1 - σ)
