10. At the current steady state capital-labor ratio, assume that the steady state level of per capita consumption, (C/N)*, is less than the golden rule level of steady state per capita consumption. Given this information, we can be certain that A. an increase in the saving rate will cause an increase in (C/N)*. B. a reduction in the capital-labor ratio will cause a reduction in (C/N)*. C. the capital labor ratio will tend to increase over time. D. a reduction in the saving rate may have an ambiguous effect on (C/N)*.

Would the following events usually lead to capital deepening? Why or why not? a. A weak economy in which businesses become reluctant to make long-term investments in physical capital. b. A rise in international trade. c. A trend in which many more adults participate in continuing education courses through their employers and at colleges and universities.
7 Assume a Cobb-Douglas production function, where © =0.5 and A = 1. If AN/N = 0.06, d = 0.04, and s = 0.2, what is the steady state value of capital per capita ??

3. Y₁ = 3k+0.5 St = 0.3Yt d = 0.1 n = 0.05 What are the steady-state values of the capital-labor ratio k, output per worker y, and consumption per worker?
please answer the following, I have attached an image of the question for better format. Thanks! 3. Suppose that the production function of a country is given by Y=KaL1-a, where 0<a<1, Y is output, L is labour, and K is capital, Derive the equation for steady state capital per worker, output per worker, and consumption per worker in terms of the saving rate (s) and depreciation rate (d).
41. Assume that a country's per-worker production is y=1.5k3/4, where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker. Assume also that 10 percent of capital depreciates per year and there is no population growth or technological change. a. If the saving rate (s) is 0.15, what are capital per worker, production per worker, and consumption per worker in the steady state? b. Solve for steady-state capital per worker, production per worker, and consumption per worker with s-0.3. c. Solve for steady-state capital per worker, production per worker, and consumption per worker with s-0.45. d. Is it possible to save too much? Why?
Question 1Some data at first might seem puzzling: The share of GDP devoted to investment was similar for Country liberty and Country Techno from 1970 - 2001. However, during these same years Country Techno had a 6 percent growth rate of average annual income per person, while Country liberty had only a 2 percent growth rate. If the saving rates were the same, why were the growth rates so different?
Can you please help me?
Problem 4 a) Prof Andrew described steady states as "horrible places to be." Was this claim absolute or relative? Do countries having steady states that are lower in the capital have worse living qualities? b) Imagine a world where there are "n" countries with different levels of capital, k. They all share the same saving level, birth rate, and the same GDP per capita function. The only thing that differs is their depreciation rate. In this world, how does the distribution of income in the short term and long term look like? Think about the shape it would take.
