Consider the Solow model with population growth and technological progress. The population grows at rate of d and the technology grows at rate of g. The depreciation rate of capital is λ. The aggregate production function is given as Y=100 ?![(1-u) ?]" where Y, K, L, ?, ? and u refers to aggregate output, aggregate capital stock, aggregate labor, output elasticity with respect to capital, output elasticity with respect to labor, and natural rate of unemployment, respectively. Draw a well-labeled...
3) Consider the Solow model with population growth and labor-augmenting technological progress. Suppose that the aggregate production function is Cobb- Douglas, i.e. Y = AK"(E · L)1-a, where A is a constant, while E denotes technological progress and grows at rate g. Labor grows at an exogenous rate n, and capital depreciates at rate d. As usual, people consume a fraction (1 – s) of their income. a. Use a graph similar to what we have seen in class to...
Economic Growth I-End of Chapter Problem Many demographers predict that the United States will have zero population growth in the coming decades, in contrast to the historical average population growth of about 1% per year. a. Use the Solow model to show the effect of this slowdown in population growth graphically To manipulate the diagrams below, click on the endpoint of the curve you wish to pivot and place the endpoint in its proper location.

(Population growth and technology growth) Consider an economy that is described by the production function Y depreciation rate of capital is 6 n 0.05 and the technology growth rate is g = 0.1 K (LE). Moreover the 0.15, the population growth rate is (a) What is the per effective worker production function, that is y ? What is the marginal product of capital, that is ? (b) If the saving rate is s 0.3, find...
In the Solow model with a positive rate of population growth n and technological progress z, the steady state level of total real output Y grows at the rate: a. n. b. zero. c. z. d. n + z. In the Solow model with a positive rate of population growth n and technological progress z, the steady state level of per worker real output y grows at the rate: a. n. b. zero. c. z. d. n + z. In...
everything but part a Problem Set 8 1. (Population growth but no technology growth) Consider an economy that is described by the production function Y = K L. Moreover the de preciation rate of capital is 8 = 0.05 and the population growth rate is n=0.05 (there is no technology growth) (a) What is the per-worker production function, that is y = ¥? What is the marginal product of capital, that is 8X? (b) If the saving rate is 8...
7. Assume the population growth is ?. Draw Solow diagrams (one diagram for each case) to show the following. Be sure to label the old and new steady state capital and income. Also, for each case, please specify the growth rate of capital per worker, the growth rate of output per worker, the growth rate of total capital, and the growth rate of total output at the new steady state. (1) In the Solow model with population growth but without...
d. Assume that the aggregate production function is given by: where Y is aggregate output, K is capital, L is the number of workers in the economy and E is the state of technology. Further assume that capital depreciates at a rate of δ, the rate of technological progress is g, the population is growing at a rate of n and the saving rate is s. I5 marks] i. Determine the scale of production? Suppose capital is increased by a...
3) [20 points] Consider the Solow growth model without population growth or technological change. The parameters of the model are given by s = 0.2 (savings rate) and d=0.05 (depreciation rate). Let k denote capital per worker; y output per worker; c consumption per worker; i investment per worker. a. Rewrite production function below in per worker terms: 1 2 Y = K3L3 b. Find the steady-state level of the capital stock, c. What is the golden rule level of...
3 Technological Growth Suppose that production is given by Y = K (AN) The savings rate is s = 0.16 and the rate of depreciation is 8 = 0.1. Suppose further that the number of workers grows at 2% per year and that the rate of technological progress is 4% per year. 1. Find the steady-state values of the the following variables: capital per effective worker, output per effective worker, the growth rate of output per effective worker, the growth...
