Suppоse the wоrlds pоpulаtions lives for two periods: young аnd old. In eаch period, the agent chooses whether to consume a ton of energy or reduce their energy consumption. Assume that oncethe population decides to consume a ton of energy at any point the world becomes polluted and suffers from climate change. The utility associated with several sates of the world are summarizedhere: Utility(Consume Energy|Polluted) -12 Utility(Consume Energy|Not Polluted) 10 Utility(Reduce Energy|Polluted) -8 Utility(Reduce Energy|Not Polluted) 0 Let δ = 1 and β = 1/2, in what periods will a sophisticated population who enters a world not polluteddecide to consume energy?
