(b). The capital stock will move towards the steady state level of capital if it"s below or above the steady state. For example(as shown in the table)- for all the amount of capital stock below steady state, savings are greater than depreciation rate; so capital capital stock can be increased and it will move towards steady state. Similarly if the capital stock is above steady state, then depreciation is greater than savings; so capital stock will fall and move towards steady state. Only at the STEADY STATE level of capital total savings and depreciation are equal, hence there should be no change in capital stock.

Hello guys can anyone help with this question thank you so muchSteady State in the Solow Model of Economic Growth Take the Solow model with a savings rate of 𝑠 = 0.2, a depreciation rate of 𝛿 = 0.05 and a Cobb-Douglas production function of 𝑦 = 𝑘 1⁄3 . Note that the Solow equation that describes how capital changes is given by Δ𝑘 = 𝑠𝑘 1⁄3 − 𝛿𝑘. a) Find the steady state capital stock, where the capital stock...

5. Calibrated Cobb-Douglas Growth Model Assume an economy has the following production function: Y = F(K, AL) = K 0.4 (AL)0.6. (a) Write down the production function per effective worker. (20 marks) (b) For this economy, the savings rate is 20%, the depreciation rate is 10% per year, the population growth rate is 2% per year, and the technology growth rate is 3% per year. Calculate the steady-state capital stock per effective worker, output per effective worker, and consumption per...
Let the Cobb-Douglas parameter alpha equal 0.3. Then in the Solow growth model steady-state consumption will surely be increased if (check all that apply): A. The saving rate decreases from 0.50 to 0.25 B. The saving rate increases from 0.25 to 0.50 C.The saving rate increases from 0.25 to 0.30 D. The saving rate decreases from 0.35 to 0.30
can anyone help solving this question. it"s typo of part e that should be part d QUESTION 2 This question aims to explore some of the points discussed in Topic 2 (Solow-Swan model). It is also designed to test your understanding of Chapter 5 of the prescribed textbook. Consider an economy with the general Cobb-Douglas production function: Answer the following questions assuming that labour grows at the rate n = 0 and adopting the assumptions made in lecture. The equation...
1. Consider a country that is initially in steady state. Suppose the saving rate increases. Moreover, the population growth rate increases by 1% but the capital depreciation rate falls by 1%. According to the Solow–Swan model, the per capita capital stock increases, and the country moves to a new, higher steady state level of per capita income. Answer true, false, or uncertain. Please briefly explain your answer. 2. Consider the country of Solow, which is described by the Solow–Swan model....
