a. Plot the population growth rate function corresponding to the death rate and birth rate functions above. b. Find the Steady state consumption levels and population levels for this economy. c. Thomas Malthus had a very pessimistic view of the conditions of the human race in that he believed that any increase in the living standard due to a sudden decrease in the population would be temporary. This is indeed the prediction of the Malthus model we studied in class. Does the version of the Malthus Model in this question make the same prediction? Use graphs in your answer.

Graphically illustrate the changes over time in the table using the Lewis Model. Note that this means one assumption from the table will not be able to hold true in this model of economic development. Point out the difference on your graph.
Describe the Lewis Theory of Economic Development comprehensively?
For each of the following scenarios, use the graphical depiction of the Malthusian model to illustrate what happens to a country’s population size and per-capita income in the short run and in the long run. a. Scientists discover a new strain of wheat that can produce twice as much grain per acre.   b. A war kills half of the population.   c. A volcanic eruption kills half the people and  destroys half the land.
Could I have the second questions answered as well: For the production function Y = K1/3L2/3 (a) find the function for output per capita (b) What is the growth rate of per capita for this function in terms of the growth rate of K, gK, and the growth rate of L, n. Thanks!
One problem with all exponential growth models is that nothing can grow exponentially forever. Describe factors that might limit the size of a population.
Assume positive population growth ( n > 0) and technological progress ( g > 0 ). Derive analytically the steady-state growth rates of output and capital, and the steady-state levels of output and capital per efficiency unit of labour. Illustrate your answer graphically and briefly discuss the economic intuition.
Venezuela experienced a large outow of population. Choose one scenario for the subsequent Venezuelan economy that cannot be explained by Solow model. (a) Assume that productivity is constant. If those who subsequently leave return to Venezuela, then in the long run the amount of capital will return to what it was before the population outow. (b) According to the Solow model, the capital per worker should be above it's steady state. Assuming population and productivity are xed, thereafter, capital per worker will decline. (c) Assume that productivity is constant. The level of real GDP immediately after outows is lower than the original level because of the decline in population. (d) Assuming that the population remains unchanged permanently after the population outow, even in the short term, Venezuela's growth rate will be determined solely from the growth rate of productivity.
Explain Modeling Population Growth ?
Suppose you add a variable rate of population growth to a two-sector model of growth. Draw and properly label a graph on how the production function, investment requirement line, and saving line look like. Does the addition of the variable rate of population growth to this model help you explain anything that a simpler two-sector model with a fixed rate of growth, or a one sector model with variable population growth, cannot? Expound.
Thomas Malthus presented a dismal forecast for man-kind, largely due to the effects of population growth. 1. Show how the composition of output changes as a result of population growth.
What must be the relationship between the rate of growth of technological change (g) and the population growth rate (L/L) for income per capita to continue to increase?
