Question
- In the Solow growth model, what happens in an economy when technological progress results in the rate of
depreciation falling? Use an economy where there are both workers and effective workers to illustrate the effects of this change in the rate of depreciation and show the steady state effects. USE GRAPHS.

- Consider the basic Solow growth model. Let the aggregate production function be defined as Y = F(K, L) = K0.5 L0.5 where Y is output, K is capital, and L is labor. Furthermore, let the saving rate be 48%, population growth be 2%, and depreciation rate be 10%. a. Find the steady-state levels of capital per worker k and output per worker y.. %. b. Now assume that, because of the proliferation of financial technologies, the saving rate increases suddenly to 54% after one year. The steady-state level of capital will increase by ____%, and the steady-state level of output will increase by_arrow_forwardPlease no written by hand and no emagearrow_forwardThe Solow growth model is characterised by both successes and failures.

Furthermore, the saving rate of this economy is 0.2. The population growth rate is 0.03. The depreciation rate is 0.01. The technological progress is given by g which is equal to 0.01.

- Good Evening My name is Helen here's the problem A country is described by the solow model, with production function of y=k1/2, Suppose that k is equal to 400. 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? Show how you reached your conclusion.arrow_forwardExplain how and why we need to extend the standard Solow model of long-run economic growth without technological progress to account for the increase of global GDP over the last 200 years. Critically discuss the standard Solow model with technological progress.arrow_forwardConsider the Solow growth model with labor growth and no technology growth, i.e., n = 0, x = 0. Output is created by a Cobb-Douglas produc- n0,x tion function combining Labor, Lt, and capital, Kt, such that output, Y+is given by Y₁ = A+ KL Yt 1-a For a given time t, Given a level of Capital, and Investment, It, and a depreciation rate of capital, 8, the level of capital at time t+1 is given by the following law of motion of capital K++1 = Kt - 8Kt + It The labor growth rate in this economy is n = 2%, depreciation is 8 = 4%, the savings rate is s = 25%, and a = 0.3. Initial levels of capital, labor and technology are Ko = 10, Lo = 5, Ao = 1 respectively. The economy is assumed to be closed with no government spending.

The savings rate is 31% greater in country ABC than in country XYZ. The depreciation rate is 5.38% and the population growth rate is 2.28% in both countries. In 20XX, capital per worker is 884 and real GDP per worker is 248 in both countries. The growth rate of capital per worker in country XYZ is 1.69% per annum.
