Moreover, assume that the depreciation rate is d = 0.02, the rate of population growth is n = 0.02, and the saving rate is s = = 0.2. a. Compute the value of the capital stock per worker in steady state. b. Draw a graph that represents the steady-state equilibrium of the model. c. Suppose that the capital-labor ration in year t is 90. What will the level of the capital- labor ratio be in year t+1? Will it increase or decrease in future periods? Explain. d.

Country A and Country B both have the production function Y = F(K,L) = K¹/32/3 neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 20 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 30 percent of output each year. Now suppose that both countries start in year 1 with a capital stock per worker of 1. In what year will consumption in country B be higher than consumption in Country A?

You are given the following information regarding Country AAA: Output per capita: y = 3k0.5 Depreciation rate: d = 0.10 Growth rate of population: n = 0.05 Savings function: S = 0.3Y Based on the above information: Calculate the capita labor ration (k) and output per capita at the steady state equilibrium.
You are given the production function Y= AK H14 N 2, where A = 4. The population growth rate n is 0.025, the depreciation rate d is 0.075 (both physical and human capital depreciate at the same rate), and the growth rate of autonomous factors is zero. Investment 1 is the sum of two components, investment in physical capital Ig and investment in human capital Iµ. The fraction of GDP that goes to physical capital investment is SK = 0.05 and the fraction of GDP that goes to human capital investment is SH = 0.05. (i) Convert the production function to a function relating Y/N to both K/N and H/N. (ii) Find the steady-state physical capital-labor ratio and the steady - state human capital - labor ratio. (iii) Find the steady – state per person output. 2.
