17. As an economist working at the International Monetary Fund, you are given the following data for Burundi:
per capita GDP relative to the United States, is 0.01. If we were to assume that total factor productivity (TFP)
in Burundi is the same as in the US, A = 1, and the technology is y= Ak¹/3, then predicted per capita GDP
would be 0.18. Under this assumption the model clearly overestimates per capita GDP in Burundi. So what is
the implied total factor productivity in Burundi relative to the US that makes the model consistent with the
data?
a. 0.44
b. 0.98
C.
0.06
18. Assume the production function of an economy is given by Y = AK¹/³1²/³. If A = 2 and I = 1, the
depreciation rate is d = 0.05, and the saving rate is 5 = 0.1, then the steady-state level of capital is about:
0.1
a.
d. 8.0
b. 2.5
e. 0.6
C. 1.6
b.
