Question
(Long Run)
The country of Prosperous has:
- Production function: Y = 2 K1/2 (AN)1/2, where Y=output;K=capital; A=technology; and N=labor
- Saving rate (s): 20% per year
Depreciation rate (d): 10% per year- Labor growth rate (n): 2% per year
- Rate of technological change (g): 8% per year
c. Calculate the growth rate of the following variables when the economy achieves its steady-state:
- Output per effective worker (Y/AN)
- Output per worker (Y/N)
- Output (Y)

- Q4) Production Functions and Growth (a) Time is continuous and the production function of the economy is given by (1) Y¢ = ( K¢ )ª( A¿N; )1-« Total factor productivity evolves according to (2) A = egt Ao such that A where the growth rate of technological progress g is exogenous. Population grows at an exogenous rate n according to (3) N{ = ent No with No = 1 such that = n Find an expression for the growth rate of (i) output per capita (Yt / Ni) and (ii) output per effective worker ( Yt/ (A:N:) ). When is the growth rate of (ii) equal to zero?arrow_forward(5 points) Suppose that the marginal product of capital satisfies the following condition: lim fr = A > (8 + n)/s. 00 L Show this model in the context of the above Solow growth model. What does this imply about the existence of a steady state? Will growth in per-capita GDP be continual?arrow_forwardIn this problem, we distinguish between labor and population in the Solow growth model. A proportion of the population, a, between zero and one, works. The production function is now written as Y = A(K^1/3)[(aL)^2/3] (a) How does an increase in a from 0.3 to 0.6 change steady state GDP? (b) Does it change the steady-state capital? Explain. (c) Suppose a rises steadily over time. How do you think would affect the growth rate of GDP?arrow_forward
- The Solow Growth Model is a model that is often used to explain the theoretical relationship between several factors that determine a country's economic growthcountry.(a) Explain what you know about the Solow Growth Model and what are the most important determinants of a country's long-term growth rate?(b) Within the framework of the Solow Growth Model, how does population growth affect a country's economic growth rate?(c) Still within the framework of the Solow Growth Model, how does technological progress affect a country's growth rate?arrow_forwardConsider an economy where the elasticity of output with respect to capital is 0.4 and the elasticity of output with respect to the labor input is 0.6. Assume that the growth rate of output is 3%, the growth rate of capital is 1%, and the growth rate of the labor input is 2%. (a) What is the rate of productivity growth?arrow_forwardAre there key differences between an increase in the capital stock and an improvement in the level of technology?arrow_forward
