- I need help soon a possible I have one and half.arrow_forwarda) Consider two countries that have the same parameters and exogenous variables (i.e. they have the same values for s¯, d¯, L¯ etc). Country A starts with a level of capital above the steady state. Country B starts below the steady state. First, plot the Solow diagram, explain why country B will grow but country A will shrink. b) Solve for steady state level of capital per person, k∗.arrow_forward9. Consider a numerical example using the Solow growth model. Suppose that F(K, N) KO.5N0.5, with d = z = 1, and take a period to be a year. (a) Determine capital per worker, income per capita, and consumption per capita in the steady state. 0.1, s = 0.2, n = 0.01, andarrow_forward
- The validity and ability of the Solow Growth Model in explaining the long-term growth of a country has been tested empirically.(a) In the Solow Growth Model we are introduced to the concept of the Golden Rule; optimum level of saving and capital formation to support growth. Is this Golden Rule concept proven empirically?(b) From what we have learned from the Solow Growth Model, describe some policies that can improve a country's economic growth rate.arrow_forwardPlease solve this question given in The picture. Mathematically?arrow_forwardConsider our graph of the basic Solow growth model. On the graph above: y represents real output (or income) per worker; y=F(k) is the production function; k is the capital stock per worker; s is the savings rate; δ is the rate of depreciation of capital; ‘i’ represents business investment (purchases of capital) per worker); ‘LF’ stands for Loanable Funds. (For purposed of intuition, think of capital as ‘machines.’) If we started out with a capital (per worker) stock lower than the steady-state stock ( , above), we would expect to see which of the following happen over time? Group of answer choices A) Positive growth rates while the capital stock increases. B) Negative growth rates while the capital stock increases. C) Negative growth rates while the capital stock decreases. D) Positive growth rates while the capital stock stays less than the steady-state level. E) Positive growth rates while the capital stock decreases.arrow_forward
