3. Suppose that there are two countries with dif- ferent levels of total factor productivity, and that these differences exist because of barriers to technology adoption in the low-productivity country. Also suppose that these two countries do not trade with each other. Now, suppose that residents of each country were free to live in either country. What would happen, and what conclusions do you draw from this?

Question 1 Suppose there are but two countries, namely A and B. Each country is indexed by "" for j = A and B. Both countries have no govermment, i.e. Gj = T, = 0. Suppose the technology of both countries are linear production in labor hours. That is, y, = z,N, where Ny is the number of working hours in country j and z, is the level of technology in country j. Suppose that ZA = 2 > Z, = 1 and preferences of consumers in both countries are identical a) Assuming a fixed time endowment in both countries to be equal to 1 unit, construct the PPF of each conntry. Putting both PPFS in the same figure and locate all important points. Comments on the differences and similarities between the two PPFS. b) Determine the competitive equilibrium in both countries.

This is a really straightforward problem of human capital acquisition. Let ht stand for generation t's human capital (i.e., human capital of people born in year t). Assume that education spending, represented by x and quantified in $1,000 US dollars, builds human capital. If x = 30, the entire expenditure is 30,000 dollars, and the individual's human capital is ht = 2x.Assume that everyone has the same amount of human capital and that production per person is the same.Individual is yt = Aht, where A > 0 is a constant technological parameter.Find yt's (long-term) growth rate. Display all of your work and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.
