They grow various kinds of trees, which provide them with everything they need. Akila has built an irrigation system that improves the productivity of the land. Production makes use of three factors: capital K (the irrigation system), labour N (the work done by Akila and her family) and land L (the oasis and the desert around it). The production function is given by F(K,N,L)= K*N*L*. Labour supply is fixed at N=1 and the family owns 64 units of land, L=64. The irrigation system is in constant need of repair; about 10% needs to be rebuilt every year to keep it in a good condition, i.e. K' = K – K +1, where I is investment in the capital stock. 1. Show that for a saving rate s, the law of motion for the capital stock can be written in per-capita terms as k'=k-k+s2vk . 2. Find the steady-state level of the capital stock k, output y and consumption e as functions of s. 3. Currently,…arrow_forward
