2. Two countries, country A and country B are identical in every meaningful way. Then there is a massive earthquake in country B that destroys much of the capital.
a. What will be the immediate effect on the level of output in country B according to our model?
b. What will be the effect on the growth rate of country B shortly after the earthquake according to our model?
c. What will happen to the levels of output and rates of growth of these two countries over time? (This question can be answered in one word. A couple sentences is fine but don’t write a novel!)
Homework Answers
A)
The immediate impact will be that their output will fall.
B)
The growth rate of the country will plunge because of loss of the capital.
C)
The level of output for country B will rise along with growth over the time period because there is a large requirement of goods due to losses caused by the earthquake.
The will not be large changes in the growth and output of country A as they were unaffected by the earthquake.

1. Let the production function for an economy by given by Y=AK1/2L1/2 where Y is output, K is capital, L is labor and A is “ideas.” a. If L=25, A=10, the savings rate is ¼ and the depreciation rate is ½, what will the steady-state values of output, capital and consumption be? b. On a graph, show what will happen to steady-state output and capital of there is a decrease in the depreciation rate. 2. As capital increases, the marginal...

Suppose there are two very similar countries (call them E and F). Both countries have the same population and neither is experiencing population growth (that is, N is identical and constant in both countries). Both countries depreciate capital at the same rate, the both have the same savings rate, they both have the same technology, and there is no technological progress. Suppose that currently both countries are in steady state, when an earthquake destroys half of the capital stock of...

12. Assume two economies are identical in every way except that one has a higher population growth rate. According to the Solow growth model, in the steady state the country with the higher population growth rate will have a ______ level of output per person and ______ rate of growth of output per worker as/than the country with the lower population growth rate. A) lower; a lower B) higher; the same C) higher; a higher D) lower; the same

Consider two identical countries, country A and country B, that both produce shampoo, a good characterized by product differentiation, with identical increasing returns to scale technology. Each variety of shampoo is produced by a different firm, so the market exhibits all the characteristics of the monopolistic competition model of trade. 1)If country A and country B trade, what type of trade would be more likely to occur: intra industry or inter industry? WHY? 2)If two countries are allowed to trade...

Consider two identical countries, country A and country B, that both produce shampoo, a good characterized by product differentiation, with identical increasing returns to scale technology. Each variety of shampoo is produced by a different firm, so the market exhibits all the characteristics of the monopolistic competition model of trade. 1. In the free trade, describe the gains from trade in country A and country B. How are the gains from trade different from trade based on comparative advantage? 2....

Suppose there are 2 countries i,j where both the countries are
identical in every aspect excepting quality of education. Although
both the countries have same levels of factors of production,
however the quality of education per person in country i is better
than that in country j.
a. Set up a Cobb-Douglas production function in per capita
terms by incorporating q to be the quality of education. Note q
should be associated with human capital per capita (h) but the...

There are two countries, Anihc (country A) and Bapan (country B), with the same production function fk=5k0.5. However, country A has saving rates of 0.2, depreciation rate of 0.2 and population growth of 0.2; while country B has saving rates of 0.1, depreciation rate of 0.15 and population growth of 0.05. Using the Solow model: Find the steady state capital-labor ratio for each country. Find the steady state output per worker, and the steady state consumption per worker for each...
