a. Given a per capita production function ofy= k^0.5, a savings rate of 10%, a depreciation rate of 2%, a technological growth rate of 1%, and a population growth of 3%, what is this economy's steady-state level of output per capita. In a sentence, describe over time what is happening to this economy's level of RGDP when the economy is in a steady state. b. Imagine that the economy described in part a of this problem begins time (tO) with 1 unit of capital per effective worker. Assume that investment demand rises at the same rate as real GDP. Further, assume that by time t1 this economy has achieved the steady-state level of capital. On the left-hand side of the plots below, diagram the movement of the requested variables between time to and time t1.

) The goal is to analyze further the two-sector endogenous growth model. Write down the equation of motion for k, which shows delta k as saving minus break-even investment. (Break-even investment is the amount of investment needed to keep capital per effective worker constant.) Draw a graph that determines the steady-state k. In this economy, what's the steady-state growth rate of output per work? How do the saving rate and fraction of labor force in universities (u) affect this steady-state growth rate?
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?

Can you please help me?
Suppose some of the country's capital is suddenly destroyed. If the depreciation rate, savings rate, and production function remain unchanged, then the real growth rate will _____ in the short run and the steady-state level of capital will _____ A.increase, decrease B.decrease, decrease C.increase, stay the same D. decrease, stay the same
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.
Assume that a E (0, 1). Draw a diagram that describes the evolution of kt, and show that there exists a unique steady state, k* > 0. Label properly. Find the expressions for the steady state variables k*, y*, and c* in terms of the parameters of the model. , Now, assume that α = 1. Draw a diagram that describes the evolution of kt, and show that income per worker can grow indefinitely in this case. Label properly.
