3 Growth Model Suppose that output (Y) in an economy is given by the following aggregate production function: Y = K + NE where Kt is capital and Nt is the population. Furthermore, assume that capital depreciates at rate 8 and that savings is a constant proportion s of income. You may assume that 8 > S. 1. Suppose that the population remains constant. Solve for the steady-state level of capital per worker. 2. Now suppose that the population grows...
Malthusian Model of Growth Notation: Yt Aggregate output; Nt Population size; L¯ Land (fixed); ct Per capita consumption Production: Aggregate production function is Yt = F(Nt , Lt) = zN2/3 t L 1/3 t Population Dynamics: Nt+1 = g(ct)Nt Population growth function: g(ct) = (3ct) 1/3 Parameter Values: Land: L¯ = 1000 for all t. Productivity parameter: z = 1 ...
A country has the following production function: Yt=Kt^0.5Lt^0.5 Assume that 5 percent of of capital depreciates each year and the country saves 20 percent of output each year. What is the per worker production function, What is the steady-state level of capital per worker? What is the steady-state level of output per worker? The steady-state level of consumption per worker is: The steady-state level of saving per person is: The growth rate of output per person in the steady-state is:
1. Solow growth model: a. Draw the steady-state equilibrium by drawing the savings line and the investment line. Show the steady-state values of savings, investment and capital per worker. b. On the same graph, also draw the output per worker (or per-worker production function) line. At the steady-state, mark the level of consumption per worker and savings per worker. c. What is the growth rate of yt, Ct, kt (per-worker variables, represented with an "upperbar" in class) in the steady-state?...

all but part a 2. (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...
The following problem is based on the idea of a Malthusian trap. Thomas Malthus, an 18th century British cleric and scholar, argued that as population increases, the limited amount of natural resources will lead societies into a trap of gradually decreasing standard of living, thus negating the effects of any technological progress. We can study this idea using the Solow model framework. Consider a modified version of the Solow growth model where the aggregate production function in period t is...
Consider the Solow growth model. Output at time t is given by the production function Yt = AK 1 3 t L 2 3 where Kt is total capital at time t, L is the labour force and A is total factor productivity. The labour force and total factor productivity are constant over time and capital evolves according the transition equation Kt+1 = (1 − d) ∗ Kt + It , where d is the depreciation rate. Every person saves...
