a) Consider an economy in which the labour force grows by 2.7 percent per annum, while the
capital stock grows by 4 percent per annum. Suppose 55 percent of national income goes
to labour and 45 percent to capital.
i. If the residual were R = 0, what rate of growth would the economy achieve?
Calculate the value of the residual (R) if the country's actual rate of growth has been 4.5 percent
ii.
per annum.
b) Suppose that a developing economy can be modeled with the Solow growth model.
The constant returns to scale production technology is:
Y(t) = K(t)“ H(1)* (A(t)L(t))*
Where Y(t) is output, K(t) is physical capital, H(t) is human capital, A(t) is the level of technology, and
L(t) is labour. The parameters a, º and A are positive and there is perfect competition in the markets for
output and the inputs.
Assume that during the 2005-2018 period, the country's growth rate averaged 8.5 percent and a
