Assume the rate of technological progress is constant in a SSGM with Cobb- Douglas production function. Show that a steady-state cannot be identifiede if the technological progress is capital augmented, i.e. F(K, L) = [A(t)K(t)]*L(t)'_ª, where A(t) is the efficiency term growinge with a constant rate g.t
I need help with parts (f) and (g) of question 2
Consider the following growth model for technology: 8=04 (5,L) Explain for each of the cases technical level (4) and the technical growth rate develop over time if we assumes that the supply of laborforce to research (L, =s,L) and<1 how output from the research sector the is constant/fixed.
In the Malthusian model, suppose that the quantity of land increases. A) using diagrams, determine what effects this has in the long-run steady state and explain your results. b)Plot what happens to the following variables over time as a result of the increase in the quantity of Land, population size and consumption per person
Pls help with below homework.
The ways in which people choose to spend their time can provide important information to economists and other social scientists who study human behaviour. In particular, differences in how people use their time are often indicative of inequalities in important economic outcomes. Read the two articles below: How do people across the world spend their time and what does this tell us about living conditions? POST 1: Why is it important to understand differences in time use across different population groups? This post will be assessed as an original contribution. [100-150 words]
Please, I urgently need this exercise. Area of expertise is macroeconomics: Solow growth model.
Economics Suppose output per worker in the US is four times (4.0) output per worker in China. Suppose capital per worker in the US is twice that of China. You should assume that the share of capital in income is 40 percent for both countries. Total factor productivity (A) for the U.S is. A)Four times higher (4.0) than China B)U.S TFP is beľow China. C)US TFP is twice (2.0) as high. D)U.S TFP is equal to China. EJU.S TFP is 3.2 times higher than China.
Consider now the two-period model in general equilibrium, so that prices, investment and labour supply are endogenous, i.e. the production economy. Analyse and carefully explain graphically and in words the general equilibrium effects of a decrease in TFP(total factor production) for a benchmark economy with no frictions.
The following graph shows a variety of possible production functions (PFs) in an imaginary economy, assuming constant levels of human capital and technology. Because human capital and technology remain unchanged, each of these production functions represents a different level of the capital stock. Fill in the table with the curve that corresponds to each of the capital stock levels described. Levels of Capital Stock This corresponds to which curve? (PF1, PF2, PF3) Highest Middle Lowest Fill in the blank: The slope of the line connecting the origin to point B is __________ (options: flatter, steeper) than the slope of the line connecting the origin to point A, because the slope of such a line is equivalent to ___________ (options: productivity, the marginal physical product of labor, marginal cost).
