Consider the Solow growth model with labour-augmenting aggregate production function, Y =F(K, AL), where Y is output, K is the capital stock, and L is the labour force. The labour force(assumed equal to population) grows at a constant rate n > 0. Technological level A grows at aconstant rate a > 0.С5.Prove analytically, that for the production function in the intensive form y = f (k)the expression for MPL =ƏYtakes the form MPL =A[f(k) – kf'(k)]. Find the growth rateof real wage w = W /P for every moment in time and on the balanced growth path.

Proof:The derivative of the production function with regard to labor is known as the marginal…

I need help with parts (f) and (g) of question 2
Suppose the per-worker production function is: y = A(1-gA) Where ga is the fraction of all workers that produce technologies. Further, suppose the growth of technology is given by the following equation growth of A = (g//m)(L) Suppose L = 1 and m = 7, and that initially ga = 0.7. If ga fell to 0.8 the level of output per %3D worker would: fall Impossible to say rise stay the same
Given the following aggregate production function: Y = K0.25 (AL) 0.75, where technology A grows at a fixed rate: A=g>0 (f) Find the steady state solution algebraically for output per efficiency worker, ỹ, where (i = 1,2). Show all workings. (g) Outline and explain the behaviour of per worker variables along the model's balanced growth path.
Please assist to solve the below question. Suppose an economy is on a balanced growth path in a simple Romer model, as described in the text, where aggregate output is: Y, = A,Lyt, law of motion of ideas (idea production function) is: AA++1 = ZA“, Lat ; labour resource constraint is: Ly +Lat = L, and the allocation of labour is: La = IL, %3D where z is a productivity parameter of the researchers, Ao is the existing stock of ideas at time, t = 0, L is the total population and assumed to be constant, and i is the constant fraction of population who works in the research sector. Suppose in year 2030, research productivity z rises immediately and permanently to the new level z'. а. How would the growth rate of ideas behave if a <1? b. Assuming a = 1, solve for the new growth rate of knowledge and growth rate of output per capita. С. Assuming a = 1, sketch the graph of Iny against time t. d. Why might research productivity increase in an economy?
Ecuador's economy has a production function that is as follows: Y = K2/5L3/5 The men in Ecuador generally stay home performing household chores while women work. Since the Ecuadorian state television stopped airing soap operas, many men decided to join the workforce and thus the labor force increased by 6.5%. However, recent storms have destroyed much of the capital stock of the country and thus the capital stock shrank by 2.5%. A. Assuming there is no change in total factor productivity in Ecuador, how would the output of Ecuador's economy change? B. How would labor productivity (output per worker) be affected by the increase in labor and decrease in capital stock? Explain. C. Assuming instead that Ecuador's economy grew by 4.9%, what would be the change in total factor productivity in the economy?
