The fraction of output invested is 50%. the depreciation is 5%. Is the country at its steady-state level of output per worker, above the steady state, or below the steady state?

- when a country adds ideas what is it doing to its productivity and GDP? Which variable in the Solow Model equation is it changing?arrow_forward4. Suppose that we have a standard Solow model with a Cobb-Douglas production function. The central equation of the model is as follows:kt+1 = sAkαt + (1 − δ)kt.Consumption per worker is given by:ct = (1 − s)Akαt.(a) Solve for an expression for the steady state capital stock per worker. Indoing so, assume that the level of productivity is fixed at some value A.(b) Use your answer on the previous part to solve for an expression forsteady state consumption per worker.(c) Use calculus to derive an expression for the s which maximizes steadystate consumption per worker.arrow_forward
