(b) Find the steady-state level of the capital stock, k*.

Consider the basic Solow model with production function Y = K0.25 N0.75, saving rate of 20% and depreciation rate of 10%. Which of the following is true? The saving rate is: less than the golden rule' saving rate, hence the economy is saving too much less than the golden rule' saving rate, hence the economy is saving too little greater than the `golden rule' saving rate, hence the economy is saving too much greater than the `golden rule' saving rate, hence the economy is saving too little

Consider a standard Solow growth model. Denote capital stock as K, population as N, capital depreciation rate as d, saving rate as s, output as Y. Output is produced by a representative firm according to the production function Y=zF(K, N), where z is current total factor productivity. The law motion for capital is K' = (1 - d)K + I, where K' is the future capital stock. Population grows at a constant rate n, that is N' = (1 + n)N, and household supply labor inelastically, so population equals labor force. (a) In a graph, show the steady state level of capital per worker. Use lower case letters to denote per-capita terms and use * to denote steady state.(b) Suppose a country is initially at a steady state, then a war destroyed some of its capital stock. Determine the long run effects on the quantity of capital per worker and on output per worker in the steady state. Show by a graph. (C)Define golden rule saving rate. What does it maximize? Determine the effects of a decrease in the…

9. Suppose there is no population or technological growth. Define k as the capital-to-labor ratio. If the per worker production function is given by y = ¹/2, the saving ratio is 0.3, and the depreciation rate is 0.1, then the steady state capital per worker ratio is (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 4 (d) 6 9
In this problem, we distinguish between labor and population in the Solow growth model. A proportion of the population, a, between zero and one, works. The production function is now written as Y = A(K^1/3)[(aL)^2/3] (a) How does an increase in a from 0.3 to 0.6 change steady state GDP? (b) Does it change the steady-state capital? Explain. (c) Suppose a rises steadily over time. How do you think would affect the growth rate of GDP?
The Solow Growth Model is a model that is often used to explain the theoretical relationship between several factors that determine a country's economic growthcountry.(a) Explain what you know about the Solow Growth Model and what are the most important determinants of a country's long-term growth rate?(b) Within the framework of the Solow Growth Model, how does population growth affect a country's economic growth rate?(c) Still within the framework of the Solow Growth Model, how does technological progress affect a country's growth rate?

Consider the Solow model with a production function Y(t) = A*K(t)αL(t)1-α, Where A is a fixed technological parameter. Explicitly solve for the steady-state value of the per capita capital stock and per capita income. How do these values change in response to a rise in (a) the technological parameter A, (b) the rate of saving s, (c) α , (d) δ, the depreciation rate, and the population growth rate n?
