consider the generalized Romer model where the fishing-out effect and the decreasing returns to research are allowed. suppose the number of researchers grows 5% each year and labor-augmenting technology level grows 1% each year. then, there exists an upper limit for the fishing-out effect in steady state. evaluate whether is true, false or uncertain and why?

In the Romer model, if an economy's share of researchers decreases, there will be A) an immediate decrease in output and output growth will slow. B) an immediate increase in output and output growth will slow. C) an immediate increase in output and output growth will accelerate. D) an immediate decrease in output and output growth will accelerate. E) no change in output but output growth will slow.
This is a Solow model question. Suppose δ=0.1, s=0.4, K0 = 40, L0 = 10, AF(K,L) = K1/2L1/2, and there is no government purchases. There is no population growth. What would be k1? What about k2? What about k20?

The Romer model focuses on the production of (non-rival) ideas. We have assumed the production function for ideas to be À = A(1 – l)L
Based on two period model: population growth results in a decrease in the relative amount allocated to the second period and a lower present value of the marginal user cost. True or False?
In the Malthusian model let the production function be y = 14-0.1L, the Death Rate function be 80-10y, and the Birth Rate be 35. Then the steady-state level of income (y*) is
In the Romer model, the proportion of workers employed in the idea-producing sector has on the steady-state level of income per capita. only a positive impact no impact only a negative impact both a positive and a negative impact
In the early 1980s, Brazil and South Korea had similar saving rates (around 17% of GDP) and similar levels of income per capita (around $6,000 in 1996 dollars). In the 1980-2010 period, the saving rate stayed around 17% in Brazil, whereas it increased to more than 30 % in Korea. (a) Use the Solow model to predict the effects on the steady-state income per capita for both countries (assuming their multifactor productivity gains were exactly the same) and compare. (b) In 2010, income per capita was $9,000 in Brazil, and $28,000 in Korea. Is this consistent with your predictions?
