small values of $n$ (up to about 5 or 6). Conjecture explicit formulas for
the entries in this matrix, and prove your conjecture using mathematical
induction.
54. In economics the behavior of an economy from one period to another is often
modeled by recurrence relations. Let $Y_k$ be the income in period $k$ and
$C_k$ be the consumption in period $k$. In one economic model, income in any
period is assumed to be the sum of consumption in that period plus
investment and government expenditures (which are assumed to be constant
from period to period), and consumption in each period is assumed to be a
linear function of the income of the preceding period. That is,
$$ Y_k = C_k + E $$
where $E$ is the sum of investment plus government expenditures.
$$ C_k = c + mY_{k - 1} $$
where $c$ and $m$ are constants.
Substituting the second equation into the first gives
$Y_k = E + c + mY_{k - 1}$.
a. Use iteration on the above recurrence relation to obtain
$$ Y_n = (E + c)\left(\frac{m^n - 1}{m - 1}\right) + m^nY_0 $$
for every integer $n \geq 1$.
b. (For students who have studied calculus) Show that if $0 < m < 1$, then
$\lim\limits_{m \to \infty}Y_n = \dfrac{E + c}{1 - m}$.
