1. Assume that an economy described by a Solow model has a per-worker production function given by y- k05, where y is output per worker and k is capital stock per worker (capital-labor ratio). Assume also that the depreciation rate δ is 5%. This economy has no technological progress and no population growth (n 0). Both capital and labor are paid for their marginal products and the economy has been in a steady state with capital stock per worker at...

Consider the Solow growth model with depreciation rate and population growth rate n. The equation of motion for the capital stock and the per worker production function in this economy are given by: Ak= s(f(k) - (8 + n) k y= f(k) = k1/4 a). Suppose adoption of modern birth control methods in a developing country causes the population growth rate to decrease. What happens in the main Solow diagram: what curve(s) shin, what happens to the steady- state level...

Answer the following questions using the basic Solow growth model, without population growth or technological progress. (a) Draw a diagram with per worker output, y, consumption, c, saving, s and investment, i, on the vertical axis and capital per worker, k, on the horizontal condition. On this diagram, clearly indicate steady-state values for c, i, and y. Briefly outline the condition that holds in the steady state (i.e. what is the relationship between investment and the depreciation of capital?).

The economy of Glovania can be described by the Solow growth model. At the steady state, in Glovania the labor force grows at 3 percent per year, labor-augmenting technology increases at 2 percent per year, the saving rate is 15 percent per year, and the rate of capital depreciation is 10 percent per year. Choosing from among the following variables—output per effective worker, output per worker, total output, labor force, capital per worker, and capital per effective worker—which variables will...

2. Suppose an economy described by the Solow model has the following production function and capital law of motion, with the variables as defined in class: Y =K^(1/2)(LE)^(1/2) ∆k = sy − (δ + n + g)k The economy has a saving rate of 24 percent, a depreciation rate of 3 percent, a population growth rate of 2 percent, and a growth rate of labor productivity of 1 percent. (a) At what rate do total output (Y ), output per...

An economy is described by the standard Solow model without technological progress and without population growth. You are given the information that the savings rate dropped to a lower level in this economy, but you don’t know by how much it did so. Suppose that prior to the drop in s the economy was in a steady-state with a capital stock per worker higher than the Golden Rule level. a. In a graph which should include the production function, the...

Consider an economy that is characterized by the Solow Model. The (aggregate) production function is given by: Y = 6K1/3L2/3 In this economy, workers consume 80% of income and save the rest. The labour force is growing at 2% per year while the annual rate of capital depreciation is 5.5%. a) Solve for the steady state capital-labour ratio and consumption per worker. The economy is in its steady state as described in part (a). Suppose both the stock of capital...
