In the Solow model, if investment per-worker initially exceeds saving per-worker, how isthe steady-state capital per worker reached? Draw a graph to support your answer
Consider the Solow growth model where Y = F(K, L). Y is output, K is capital stock and L is the work force. Derive the steady state equilibrium condition of this model if depreciation rate is zero, s is the savings rate, and n is the labour force growth rate, and draw the diagram showing the equilibrium.
Consider two countries in a Solow economy with growth in population but no growth in technological change. Assume both start from below their steady-state k∗, but one starts further below than the other, and all parameters are identical. On the same diagram, plot transition paths for each country.
Consider the figure below that provides an illustration of the dynamics of the Solow model. We start with a steady state where capital per- * worker is k₁. Starting from this steady state, something changes in the economy shifting the curve up (from the "Initial" black curve to the "New" pink curve). After this change the economy moves to a new steady state characterized by per-worker capital k2*. Saving per worker and investment per worker A k₁ B k₂ New Initial 2. Capital-labor ratio increases Capital-labor ratio, k What could have caused the curve to move up (from `Initial' to 'New')? An increase in Total Factor Productivity A decrease in the saving rate A increase in the rate of population growth A decrease in the rate of depreciation
Suppose a Solow economy is initially at its steady state k∗, and suddenly is hit by a decrease in the depreciation rate δ, from δ to δ1. This change does not alter any of the other exogenous parameters in the model Depict this situation in a graph What happens to steady state level of capital per capita in this situation? What happens to the level of capital per capita over time? Depict this in a graph and explain intuitively.
In the Solow model, suppose the per worker production function is y = 5 k0.5 Suppose s = 0.11, n = 0.07, and d = 0.08 Calculate the steady-state equilibrium capital-labor ratio. (Round to two decimal places.) k =
Good Evening My name is Helen here's the problem A country is described by the solow model, with production function of y=k1/2, Suppose that k is equal to 400. The fraction of output invested is 50%. the depreciation is 5%. Is the country at its steady-state level of output per worker, above the steady state, or below the steady state? Show how you reached your conclusion.
Technical Progress in the Solow Model Suppose an economy that follows the assumptions of the Solow model saves a proportion s of its income every period, population grows at rate n, capital depreciates at rate d, and technical progress takes place at rate g. Assume it is not yet at steady state. a) Draw a graph to show initial level of capital k* < kss, output y* as well as the steady state levels of each. Be sure to draw and label the production function, investment and the line of effective depreciation, as well as k*, y*, kss and yss b) Explain what will happen to y* in the short run given this information (i.e. starting where k* < kss), according to the assumptions of the Solow growth model). c)At steady state, what is the growth rate of y*, y and Y? Explain your answers
Consider the Solow growth model with labor growth and no technology growth, i.e., n = 0, x = 0. Output is created by a Cobb-Douglas produc- n0,x tion function combining Labor, Lt, and capital, Kt, such that output, Y+is given by Y₁ = A+ KL Yt 1-a For a given time t, Given a level of Capital, and Investment, It, and a depreciation rate of capital, 8, the level of capital at time t+1 is given by the following law of motion of capital K++1 = Kt - 8Kt + It The labor growth rate in this economy is n = 2%, depreciation is 8 = 4%, the savings rate is s = 25%, and a = 0.3. Initial levels of capital, labor and technology are Ko = 10, Lo = 5, Ao = 1 respectively. The economy is assumed to be closed with no government spending.

Consider a Solow model with a constant returns to scale Cobb - Douglas production function without technological progress. Use standard notation as in the Lecture. a. Construct a Solow graph in (Y/N) - (K/N ) space with capital per worker and output per worker in equilibrium such that the steady state capital stock per worker is in fact the consumption maximising one. Label all curves and equilibrium points.
Consider a standard Solow growth model. Denote capital stock as K, population as N, capital depreciation rate as d, saving rate as s, output as Y. Output is produced by a representative firm according to the production function Y=zF(K, N), where z is current total factor productivity. The law motion for capital is K' = (1 - d)K + I, where K' is the future capital stock. Population grows at a constant rate n, that is N' = (1 + n)N, and household supply labor inelastically, so population equals labor force. (a) In a graph, show the steady state level of capital per worker. Use lower case letters to denote per-capita terms and use * to denote steady state.(b) Suppose a country is initially at a steady state, then a war destroyed some of its capital stock.
