1. Write down the functional equation of the associated time t value function
(Hint: the state variables include the current capital stock kt and the
previous consumption ct 1 )
2. We guess that the time t value function takes the following form
v(kt ; ct 1) = E + F ln kt + G ln ct 1
Where E; F; G are undetermined coe¢ cients. Use guess and verify to solve
for the value function v(kt ; ct 1 ) and the policy function kt+1 = h(kt ; ct 1 )
