An economy has the following production function: Y = K1/2L 1/2 There is no technological growth in the economy. Some more additional details known about the economy: • The savings rate (s) is equal to 0.4. • The population growth rate (n) is equal to 0.03. • Depreciation rate (δ) is at 0.07.
(a) Derive the function of output per worker in terms of capital per worker.
(b) Find the steady state levels of capital per worker, output per worker and the marginal product of capital.
(c) Using your answer from part (b), determine whether the steady state capital per worker is at Golden Rule level. How do you know?
(d) Assume that the economy successfully transitioned itself to the the savings rate of 0.5. Would such an increase be enough to take the economy to the Golden Rule level? Explain.

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...

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...

An economy with a population growth rate at 2 percent and a rate of technological growrh at 3 percent is in steady state. If the capital-output ratio is 2, depreciation amounts to 10 percent of GDP, and capital income is 20 percent of GDP, then this economy would need to ......... the Golden Rule steady state. (Please, is it to decrease or increase saving rate, s, or do nothing. OR do I decrease the steady state stock of capital per...
