Uncertainty > consumption if state 1 (i. e. sick) vs. consumption if state 2 (i. e. healthy: inter-temporal choice model. Assume two time periods, consumer can only transfer money from period 1 (t1) to period 2 (t1) Assume price of consumption each period = 1. Amount of consumption each period > (c1, c2) Amount of income each period (endowment point) > (m1, m2) Budget constraint affordability: consumer can borrow and save at an interest rate (r) C1 + (c2 / (1+r)) = m1 + (m2 / (1+r)) **present value: (p1 = 1, p2 = 1 / (1+r): y-intercept (c2 when c1 = 0) C2 = (1+r)*m1 + m2: x-intercept (c1 when c2 = 0)
