It is never ending effort to find the critical factors that lead towards continued growth in per capita income. Attempt the question in light with the Neoclassical Theory and Growth Model
Assume the production function takes the general form: Y=Z*F (K,L,A)where all marginal products are positive.Which 3 of the following statements are correct?a. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth of output per person.b. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth, and so Malthus was correct that populationgrowth will always reverse the impact of technological improvements.c. Both rises in z and rises in K/L (capital intensity) will boost output per worker.d. Growth in output per worker can occur due to rises in z (technology) or rises in K/L (capital intensity), orboth.

Draw and explain three stages of neoclassical production function
Consider the production function modelled by the following equation: Y₁ = AK₁-α(BH₂)ªL₹ where Kt is capital, Ht is human capital, Lt is the number of workers, B is a scalar larger than 0, A is the (constant) level of technology, 0 < a <1 and 0 <ɛ<1. a) Does this production function satisfy all the neoclassical properties? Discuss the meaning of each property intuitively and mathematically. t Imagine that parents invest in the human capital of their children up to the point where the marginal product of physical capital, Kt, is equal to the marginal product of human capital, Ht. b) What is the relation between Kt and Ht? Use this relation to write down total output as a function of Kt only. Q3(b) in order to make output a function of K alone, after establishing that H and K are proportional, should we also establish H=h*L to remove L from the equation? Or are we treating L and H as independent variables like we did for the previous PSET and question 3(a) above.
A CES production function with physical and human capital Consider the CES production function in terms of physical capital, K, and human capital, H: where 0 a. Set up the Hamiltonian and find the first-order conditions. b. What is the optimal relation between K and H? Substitute this relation into the given production function to get a relation between Y and K. What does this “reduced-form” production function look like? c. What is the steady-state value of the ratio of physical to human capital, (K/H)∗? d. Describe the behavior of the economy over time if the initial condition is such that K(0)/H(0)? e. Suppose that the inequality restrictions IK ≥ 0 and IH ≥ 0 apply. How do these constraints affect the dynamics if the economy begins with K(0)/H(0)∗?
Consider the following one-period model. Assume that the consumption good is produced by a linear technology: Y = zND where Y is the output of the con- sumption good, z is the exogenous total factor productivity, ND is the labour hours. Government has to finance its expenditures, G, using a lump-sum tax, T, on the rep- resentative consumer. There is no other tax in the economy. The firm is owned by the representative consumer who is endowed with h hours of time she can allocate between work, NS and leisure, l. Preferences of the representative consumer are: U (c, l) = α ln c + (1 − α) ln l (1) where 0 < α < 1 is a parameter. (a) Write down the definition of a competitive equilibrium for the above economy 1 (b) Solve for the leisure, l, the consumption, c, employment, N, wage rate, w, lump-sum tax, T , and output, Y in equilibrium. (c) Solve for the optimal allocation of leisure, l, the consumption, c, employment, N, output, Y . Contrast these quantities with those…
