Exercise 1: Solow model . Consider an economy whose production function is defined by Y (t) = F (K (t), L (t)) = K (t) 1 − α · L (t) α. with 0 <α <1. In this economy, the population grows at the following rate: L (t) = n + β where n and β are strictly positive constants and k (t) represents capital per capita: k (t) = L (t). Moreover, a constant part of the product is...
1. Consider the simple version of the Solow Growth Model discussed in class summarized by these four equations: Consumers save a fraction s of output: 1 = sy Capital grows as follows: K' = 1 + (1 - 8)K Firms use capital to make output: Y = AK 0.3 There is no government or trade: Y = C+/ where Y is GDP, / is investment, C is consumption, s is the savings rate, K is the capital stock this year,...
Q.2 Consider the Solow growth model. Suppose that F(K,N)=RºS No5 with d=0.1, s=0.2, n=0.01, and z=1 and take a period to be one year. (15 marks) a. Determine capital per worker, income per capita, and consumption per capita in the steady state. Show the theoretical derivation and numerical solution. (7 marks) b. Now suppose that the economy is initially in the steady state that you calculated in part a, and savings increases to s=0.4. Determine capital per worker, income per...
Just 5-8 1 Analytics of the Solow Model In the Solow economy, people consume a good that firms produce with technology Y (which we assume to be constant) and f is a Cobb-Douglas production function Af (K, L), where A is TFP f(K, L) KL-a Here K is the stock of capital, which depreciates at rate δ E (0, 1) per period, and L is the labor force, which grows exogenously at rate n > 0. Here employment is always...
Consider the Solow growth model. Suppose that with d=0.1, s=0.2, n=0.01, and z=1 and take a period to be one year. a. Determine capital per worker, income per capita, and consumption per capita in the steady-state. Show the theoretical derivation and numerical solution. b. Now suppose that the economy is initially in the steady-state that you calculated in part a, and savings increases to s=0.4. Determine capital per worker, income per capita, and consumption per capita in the new steady...
Question 3 : Solow model with long-run TFP growth [20 marks] Suppose output is given by Y = K}(AN) As in the basic model, the workforce grows at rate n, capital depreciates at rate d and the savings rate is s. In addition, suppose that TFP grows at a constant rate g. That is: ΔΑ A9 We will refer to the product AN as the "effective workforce". It follows that the effective workforce grows at rate n+g. a. Express the...
Suppose we introduce government purchases into the Solow Growth model. The production technology is given by 1. Suppose we introduce government purchases into the Solow Growth model. The production technology is given by Y = AK N- where A is some measure of total factor productivity, K, is the level of capital and N is the size of the labor force. Output is split between consumption, C, investment, I, and Government purchases, G. according to Y=C +I+G. Assume that government...
