What is the mechanism in the Solow model that generates growth? Why isthis an appealing mechanism? Why does it fail to deliver economic growth inthe long run?
2. It is 1960. China's economy is in its steady state. It is predicted that the Chinese population will expand multi-fold over the next few decades. As an expert in economic growth, you have been called in to provide predictions about the economic effect of such population growth. a. Using the Solow diagram below, illustrate the effect on an increase in population growth on the post-1950 Chinese economy. у, і, б ہے k* Output Investment k Dep + Pop growth b. Explain (briefly) why this policy made sense to the government in 1960.

I have to change the savings rate, but trying to figure out how to start. Let’s work out 5 periods of a Solow model with labor augmenting productivity (Z) growth. In your toy economy, the savings rate is 10%, and the depreciation rate is 50% (the high depreciation rate will get us to steady-state faster--think of each period as a decade). The population is fixed (treat it as one worker, N=1 forever). You always start off with 1 unit of capital, and TFP = Z = 1 during the first period. Since TFP and population never change, output each period is created this way: Yt = Kt(1/3)Zt(2/3) Consider two worlds: One where labor augmenting productivity (Z) grows 20% per period, and one where labor augmenting productivity (Z) grows 10% per period Answer the following questions for each of the two worlds What is capital each year, in years 1-5? What is GDP each year, in years 1-5? What is the marginal product of capital each year (MPK) in years 1-5? What is the wage in each period? In a steady…

Consider the Solow growth model with no population growth and no tech- nology growth, i.e., n = x = 0. Output is created by a Cobb-Douglas pro- duction function combining Labor, Lt, and capital, Kt, such that output Yt is given by Y₁ = A+ KL-a = = 2. Recall that, without population growth, Lt = Lo and assume that Lo Furthermore, recall that, without technology growth, At Ao and assume that A0 = 1. Assume that the savings rate is s = 0.4, the depreciation rate is = 0.15, and that the capital share is a = 0.3. A lower case letter denotes a variable in per capita. For example, kt = K₁/Lt. In the following questions, choose the closest number. What is the value of kss? (a) 40.6 (b) 4.1 c) 2.8 (d) 28
