6. An earthquake: Consider a Solow economy that begins in a steady state. Then a strong earthquake destroys half the capital stock. Use a Solow diagram to explain how the economy behaves over time. Draw a graph showing how output evolves over time, and explain what happens to the level and growth rate o per capita GDP. (Hint: Pay close attention to footnote 4 on page 121 - does any curve shift?)

1. Imagine that you are hired by the president of the country of Bogatya as an economic adviser. Currently the country is enjoying a constant but comfortably high standard of living. However, the neighboring country of the Republic of Orania is extremely poor. a. Your initial analysis of the economic data from the region leads you to discover that Bogatya has a much higher level of total factor productivity (A) than Orania but otherwise the two countries seem very similar...

1 Analytics of the Solow Model In the Solow economy, people consume a good that firms produce with technology Y (which we assume to be constant) and f is a Cobb-Douglas production function Af (K, L), where A is TFP f(K, L) KL-a Here K is the stock of capital, which depreciates at rate δ E (0, 1) per period, and L is the labor force, which grows exogenously at rate n > 0. Here employment is always...

1.Suppose an economy experiences a 4% increase in each of the following variables: N, K, and H (human capital). If the production function is Y=KαN(1-α)Hβ, where α<1 and β<1, we know with certainty that Y will increase by less than 4%. none of the other answers is correct Y will increase by less than 12% but by more than 4%. Y will increase by exactly 4%. Y will increase by more than 4%. 2. Why do banks maintain a certain...
