Assume That We Are Modeling Inter-Temporal Consumption for a Typical

question 34

True/False

Assume that we are modeling inter-temporal consumption for a typical consumer. Further assume that we measure current consumption on the horizontal axis and future consumption on the vertical axis. A market exists where borrowing and lending can occur for a fixed interest rate, r. When a consumer cannot borrow money or earn an interest rate for saving money, the consumer's budget constraint is a straight line.
