1. Consider a Cobb-Douglas production function that features capital-augmenting technology: Y(t) = [A(t) K(t)]aL(t)¹-a. Assume thattechnology A(t) grows at rate u: A(t) = μA(t). Show that the economy converges to a balanced growth path, and find the growth rates of Y andK on the balanced growth path.2. Let the production function be Y(t) = J(t)aL(t)1-a, where J(t) is the effective capital stock. The dynamics of J(t) are given byj (t) = sA(t)Y (t) — 8(t). The presence of the A(t) term in this expression means that the productivity of investment at t depends on thetechnology at t. Show that the economy converges to a balanced growth path. What are the growth rates of Y and J on the balanced growth path?dy* Sas y*3.

Consider a Solow economy that is on its balanced growth path. Assume for simplicity that there is no technological progress. Now suppose that the rate of population growth falls. 1. What happens to the balanced growth path values of capital per worker, output per worker, and consumption per worker? Sketch the paths of these variables as the economy moves to its new balanced growth path. 2. Describe the effect of the fall in population growth on the path of output (that is, total output, not output per worker).

Explain how and why we need to extend the standard Solow model of long-run economic growth without technological progress to account for the increase of global GDP over the last 200 years. Critically discuss the standard Solow model with technological progress.
9. Consider our graph of the basic Solow growth model. steady state dk y=F(() F() (-7' in LF equilibrium) On the graph above: y represents real output (or income) per worker; y-F(k) is the production function; is the capital stock per worker; s is the savings rate; 8 is the rate of depreciation of capital; 'i' represents business investment (purchases of capital) per worker); 'LF' stands for Loanable Funds. (For purposed of intuition, think of capital as 'machines.) If we started out with a capital (per worker) stock higher than the steady-state stock (above), we would expect to see which of the following happen over time? Positive growth rates while the capital stock increases. Positive growth rates while the capital stock stays less than the steady-state level. Negative growth rates while the capital stock increases. Positive growth rates while the capital stock decreases. Negative growth rates while the capital stock decreases.
9. Consider a numerical example using the Solow growth model. Suppose that F(K, N) KO.5N0.5, with d = z = 1, and take a period to be a year. (a) Determine capital per worker, income per capita, and consumption per capita in the steady state. 0.1, s = 0.2, n = 0.01, and
The validity and ability of the Solow Growth Model in explaining the long-term growth of a country has been tested empirically.(a) In the Solow Growth Model we are introduced to the concept of the Golden Rule; optimum level of saving and capital formation to support growth. Is this Golden Rule concept proven empirically?(b) From what we have learned from the Solow Growth Model, describe some policies that can improve a country's economic growth rate.

Consider our graph of the basic Solow growth model. On the graph above: y represents real output (or income) per worker; y=F(k) is the production function; k is the capital stock per worker; s is the savings rate; δ is the rate of depreciation of capital; ‘i’ represents business investment (purchases of capital) per worker); ‘LF’ stands for Loanable Funds. (For purposed of intuition, think of capital as ‘machines.’) If we started out with a capital (per worker) stock lower than the steady-state stock ( , above), we would expect to see which of the following happen over time? Group of answer choices A) Positive growth rates while the capital stock increases. B) Negative growth rates while the capital stock increases. C) Negative growth rates while the capital stock decreases. D) Positive growth rates while the capital stock stays less than the steady-state level. E) Positive growth rates while the capital stock decreases.
