Consider a numerical example using the Solow Growth Model, for 2 countries. Country A: d=0.1, s=0.3, n=0.01, z=1, F(K,L)=K0.3n0.7 Country B: d=0.1, s=0.2, n=0.01, z=1.5, F(K,L)=K0.4N0.6 Which Country has a higher level of GDP per capita in steady state? O Country A O Country B Not enough information
Consider the Solow model. Using suitable diagrams, compare the different dynamics for the levels and growth rates of capital per capita and output per capita following: (a) a new wave of immigration, (b) an increase in the saving rate, (c) a one-shot foreign investment which increase the size of the available stock of capital, (d) an important technological advance.
In the Solow growth model with no population growth and no technological change, the output per worker increases when investment per worker is greater than depreciation of capital per worker. Select one: True False
Explain with a diagram how the Solow growth model would postulate that convergence between rich and poor countries should happen over time. What is the empirical evidence in support of this hypothesis? (Detailed answer of 700 words with a short intro)
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.
Explain about the potential limitations of the Solow growth model and endogenous growth model that will affect the standard of living of a country.
Consider the Solow growth model in which population evolves according to: N′ = (1 + n)N where N is the population (labor force) in the current period, N′ is the population (labor force) in the future period, and n is the population growth rate. There are public health expenditures that takes the form of government spending, G = gN, where G is the current period government spending on health care, g is the per-capita health spending in the current period. The production technology is given by Y = zKαN1−α where Y is the output of the consumption good, z is the total factor productivity, K is the current period capital stock, aN is the labour input, and 0 < α < 1 is a parameter. Consumers save a constant fraction, s, of their disposable income, where 0 < s < 1. Suppose that the economic is hit by a pandemic (e.g. Covid-19) which causes a temporary decrease in total factor productivity, z, as certain sectors in the economy (e.g. entertainment, travel etc.) cannot deliver…
Using the Solow model diagram, illustrate what happens to the steady-state capital per worker and output per worker and output per worker when a country faces a positive technology stock.
Consider 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.
A key assumption of the Solow Growth Model is that: (a) the marginal product of capital diminishes as additional units of capital are added; (b) output per capita declines as a nation’s capital to labor ratio increases; (c) the marginal product of labor tends to rise as additional units of labor are added; (d) capital tends to depreciate at an increasing rate as a nation’s output increases.
