Question
Following the report you have prepared for the Treasury, one of the comments you received is that you are not
allowing technology to growth over time, so you have decided to prepare a new report allowing for that possibility.
You can assume that the growth level of technology is g> 0, and continue making the same assumptions on
population growth you made before.
When these assumptions are made, the capital accumulation equation (in per effective labour terms) assumes
the following format: Ak₁ = syt −(n+g+d)kt, where s is the savings rate and is the capital depreciation rate.
kt = Kt/(AtLt) and yt = Y₁/(A+Lt). In your report you need to answer the following questions:
1. Find the steady-state level of income per capita assuming the production function follows the standard Cobb-
Douglas production function. Show your work, step-by-step.
