Suppose that the TFP parameter, As, in the Solow production function is the same across countries. What differs across countries is their savings rate, s. For the 1750 starter its savings rate is .25. Find the savings rate for a country that switches to Solow in 1950. Use the calibrated parameters from class. Also, assume the same population growth function holds in the 1750 starter and the 1950 starter.
Production function is given by Y= (1/2)K^a(AN)^(1-a), where a=2/3. The rate of depreciation of capital is equal to 15 percent, the rate of technological progress is equal to 3 percent, and the rate of population growth is equal to 2 percent. The economy was in the steady state at time tand the level of technology was equal to A=80. Use the Solow growth model to answer the following questions. 1.

In the Solow Growth Model, a country's production function is defined by the following: Y = F (K/L) = kºs Where K is capital and I. labour; labour grows at a rate (n), and the economy faces depreciation at a rate (8) The initial Capital Stock per worker: k, = 9 units The savings rate: s = 0.20 and the rate of depreciation: a = 0.1 Using equations and identities from the Solow Growth Model, calculate the level of capital k, Output y, Consumption c, depreciation and change in capital from the equation of motion for periods 1, 2 and 3. Comment on the accumulation of capital and output over the three periods.

Assume the per-worker production function is y = k1/2, depreciation is 4 percent of %3D capital, the labor force grows at 2 percent, and the savings rate is 30 percent. Then, the steady-state equilibrium is achieved when capital per worker is equal to: 2.5. 5. 6.25. 25.
Consider the following production function for a firm: y=(x1-1)(x2-1), if x1≥1 and x2≥1; and y=0, if either x1<1 or x2<1: Find the firms supply function and verify the law of supply.
In the Solow growth model, assume all the standard assumptions hold, except that now population is constant (n = 0) and the depreciation rate d is equal to zero. Which is true? a) There are two steady states b) Capital and capital per worker grow at the same rate c) In the steady state, investment is equal to the depreciation rate d) Aggregate savings are larger than aggregate investment e) If we start with an initial capital larger than zero, the living standards will keep growing forever
Consider the Solow growth model with neither technological nor population change. The parameters of the model are given by s=0.3 (savings rate) and δ=0.08(depreciation rate). Let k denote capital per worker; y output per worker; Solve for output per worker (y*) in the steady state. Show your derivations.
1. A country has the per-worker production function: Yt = 6k/3 where y, is output per worker and k, is the capital-labor ratio. The depreciation rate is 0.1 and the population growth rate is 0.1. The saving function is S; = 0.1Y, where S, is total national saving and Y, is total output. a) What is the steady-state value of capital-labor ratio? b) What is the steady-state value of output per worker? c) What is the steady-state value of consumption per worker? Answer: 2. What happens in the steady state to the capital-labor ratio, output per worker, and consumption per worker when each of the following events occur? You should assume that the steady-state capital-labor ratio is below the Golden Rule level. k y a) Productivity falls b) Population growth falls c) The saving rate falls d) The depreciation rate falls
