Why is a Cobb-Douglas production function useful for analyzing economic growth?
A key assumption in an endogenous growth model with both labour and capital inputs in the production function is that Multiple Choice O о о о O the share of capital is larger than the share of labour the share of capital and labour have to be equal better technology is a byproduct of more capital investment there are no external returns to capital long-run growth comes solely from technological progress

Population Growth and Technological Progress – Work It Out PLEASE WRITE ANSWERS CLEARLY An economy has a Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = K“(LE)'-a The economy has a capital share of 0.30, a saving rate of 42 percent, a depreciation rate of 4.00 percent, a rate of population growth of 5.25 percent, and a rate of labor-augmenting technological change of 3.5 percent. It is in steady state. b. Solve for capital per effective worker (k*), output per effective worker (y*), and the marginal product of capital. k* = y* = marginal product of capital =
What are the three eras regarding the history of human population growth, and what arethe characteristics of each era? According to Galor and Weil (2000), what are the majoreconomic forces that drive the transition from a Malthusian economy to a modern growtheconomy?
How can we measure growth over the very long run? Te poorest countries in the world have a per capita income of about $600 today. We can reason-ably assume that it is nearly impossible to live on an income below half this level (below $300). Per capita income in the United States in 2015 was about$51,000. With this information in mind, consider the following questions.(a) For how long is it possible that per capita income in the United Stateshas been growing at an average annual rate of 2% per year?(b) Some economists have argued that growth rates are mismeasured. Forexample, it may be difcult to compare per capita income today with percapita income a century ago when so many of the goods we can buy todaywere not available at any price then. Suppose the true growth rate in thepast century was 3% per year rather than 2%. What would the level of percapita income in 1800 have been in this case? Is this answer plausible?
Production function is given by Y= (1/2)K^a(AN)^(1-a), where a=2/3. The rate of depreciation of capital is equal to 15 percent, the rate of technological progress is equal to 3 percent, and the rate of population growth is equal to 2 percent. The economy was in the steady state at time tand the level of technology was equal to A=80. Use the Solow growth model to answer the following questions. 1. If the saving rate s=80 percent, the steady state level of output per unit of effective labor at time tis equal to ... 2. If the saving rate s=80 percent, the steady state level of consumption per unit of effective labor at time tis equal to ... 3. If the saving rate s=80 percent, the steady state level of consumption per worker at time tis equal to ..
