Byblostan economy has the following facts: 1. k = 1.5 y (the capital stock is about 1.5 times one year's GDP) 2. d k = 0.15 y (about 15% of GDP is used to replace depreciating capital) 3. MPK k = 0.2 y (capital income is about 20% of GDP) a. The administrators in Byblostan want to know how far their economy from the Golden Rule knowing that their real output growth rate is 4%. b. Discuss only two policies that the government in Byblostan should adopt which may lead their economy reach the Golden rule in the long run. "Devoting a larger share of national output to investment would help restore rapid production growth and rising living standards" Do you agree with this claim? Explain please do not provide an answer already on chegg Q&A

Assume there is a second economy ( country B ) with everything identical to country A except for the rate of population growth , which is 2 percent . Answer the following questions for country B.   Assume both countries start a k = 0 , which country grows more in the short run ( before steady state is reached ) , as given by the rate of growth of output per worker ?

The value of a is 0.30, the growth rate of population is 2% and the depreciation rate is 5%. a) Show that with price-taking firms the share of labor must be 1 a. b) Compute the stock of capital, output and consumption per unit of labor in the steady state if the savings rates were 25% for country A and 35% for country B. c) Compare both economies to the Golden Rule. d) Explain what would happen to both countries if suddenly their savings rate became the Golden Rule savings rate.

Country B OC. They are both the same O D. Unknown

Suppose Westeros produces output according to the production function: Y = √K The fraction of output that is saved and invested in new capital is 20%. The depreciation rate is 5%. Use this information to answer the following questions. Macmillan Learning a. What is the steady-state amount of capital (K) in Westeros? b. What is the steady-state amount of output (Y*) in Westeros? c. If Westeros had started out with 25 units of capital, what would the Solow model predict would happen to its output in the long run? O It will decrease, since that is above its steady state level of output of 4 It will decrease, since that is above its steady state level of output of 16 It will increase, since that is below its steady state level of output of 16 It will increase, since that is above its steady state level of output of 41 It will remain at 25, since that is its steady state level of output

Consider the economy of the planet Navarro. In Navarro, domestic investment of 400 million imperial credits earned 15 million in capital gains during the year. In addition, Navarro purchased $160 million in new foreign assets and foreigners purchased $10 million in Navarro assets. Assume that the valuation effects total $5 million in capital gains.   a. Compute the change in domestic wealth in Navarro. b. Compute the change in external wealth for Navarro. c. Compute the total change in wealth for Navarro. d. Compute domestic savings for Navarro. e. Compute Navarro’s current account. Is the CA in deficit or surplus? f. Explain the intuition for the CA deficit/surplus in terms of savings in Navarro, financial flows, and its domestic/external wealth position. g. How would an appreciation in Navarro’s currency (the imperial credits) affect its domestic, external, and total wealth? Assume that foreign assets owned by Navarroans are denominated in foreign currency.
