Assume that a country, in year 5, has a population level, P, of 14 380 individuals. The country's population has been growing at a constant yearly rate of 2.4%. a) Find the country's initial population size, assuming that we are dealing with discrete time. Then, determine the initial population size assuming continuous time. (You must show all your work!) Are the two initial population sizes similar? Why or why not? b) Now, assume that g is actually 5% and that the initial population level was, in fact, 10,000. Using the Rule of 70, graph the population growth on a ratio scale for the time periods, t= 0, 7, 14, and 28. Label your graph. Please upload your answer as ONE file (document or picture files are acceptable).

Assume a Solow growth model economy with no exogenous technological change is initially at a steady state. Suppose there is a permanent decrease in the population growth rate, say on account of the spread of AIDS a major current problem in Sub-Sahara Africa. graphically the path of the economy's capital and output per capita over Show time following this event.
In a rich country A, the gross domestic product 1 per person is r = 53,000 (US dollars). In a poor country B, the GDP per person is p = 7,000. Suppose that the GDP of country A grows by 5% per year, and that an economic miracle in country B begins to propel a growth of 9% per year. Assume these growth rates are constant. 1) Over how many years does the absolute difference in GDP between rich country A and poor country B increase? 2) How many years does it take for the GDP of country B to exceed that of country A? (Justify your answers.)

The productivity of a country is given by f(x,y)=15.21x0.438y0.562, where x is the amount of labor and y is the amount of capital. (A) Find fx(x,y) and fy(x,y). (B) Find fx(67,55) and fy(67,55), and interpret the results.
All values are 2005 dollars. Part a) Calculate the growth of GDP/capita in each column. Part b) Calculate the average annual growth in GDP/capita for japan, uk, and USA from 1980 to 2010 using the growth formula in the image. In the growth function, t is the current time period, t-j is the original time period, and g is the annual growth rate. Part c) In parts a and b, are the calculated values for nominal gdp/capita or real gdp/capita. Explain why.
Let A and B be two independent events such that P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.55- What is P(A or B)? Your answer should be given to 4 decimal places.
In 2017, the population in the US was estimated at 325.1 million. The population in 2018 was estimated to be 326.8 million. Assuming that the population growth is compounding annually at a constant growth rate, calculate the growth rate from year 1 to year 2. Source: United States Census Bureau 0.45 % 5.2 % 4.5 % 0.52%
Explain why it is important that time-series variables are ‘stationary’. Outline a method that can be used to transform a non-stationary series into a stationary one.
You are asked to perform a growth accounting analysis for Ethiopia to inform policy makers. Output growth in Ethiopia was 5% per year during the period 2012- 2022. Employment growth was 3% per year and capital was growing by 10% in the same period. Suppose that the capital share in income is 0.3 and that there are constant returns to scale. c) What was the annual growth rate of output per worker? Of capital per worker? d) What was the growth in total factor productivity (technical progress)?
Reference equation: Real GDP per capita growth rate = Nominal GDP per capita growth rate rate. - Inflation rate – Population growth This equation is an approximation of the exact rate of growth of GDP per capita, and so it results in some errors when calculating this rate. However, the simplified equation is both easy to use and results in small error terms when inflation, nominal GDP growth, and population growth are low, and so it is a useful approximation. The table below lists a fictional country's nominal GDP, real GDP, GDP deflator, and population over two years. Year 2019 2020 Nominal GDP $1,100,000 $1,200,000 GDP deflator 100 102 Real GDP (2019 dollars) $1,100,000 $1,176,471 Population 1,000 1,005 a. Verify that the real GDP values in the above table are accurate. Instructions: Round your answers to one decimal place. b.
