(0.5) Using FSOLVE, solve your model for the case of = 1 and A-2. What is GDP? Hint: you can put in the FOCs. You don't care about the Lagrangian multiplier, but it doesn't you a lot of time to have MATLAB calculate it. 2. (0.5) Suppose there are two identical consumers, and = 1 and A=2. What is GDP? 3.
