Economics, physical capital represents the uildings or machines used by a business to produce product. The marginal product of physical capital presents the rate of change of output product with spect to physical capital (informally, if you increase e size of your factory a little, how much more Foduct can you create?). articular model tells us that the output product Y is given, a function of capital K, by Y = AKªL'-a ere A is a constant, L is units of labor (assumed to be stant), and a is a constant between 0 and 1.

Suppose the per-worker production function is: y = A(1-gA) Where ga is the fraction of all workers that produce technologies. Further, suppose the growth of technology is given by the following equation growth of A = (g//m)(L) Suppose L = 1 and m = 7, and that initially ga = 0.7. If ga fell to 0.8 the level of output per %3D worker would: fall Impossible to say rise stay the same

Diminishing marginal returns is illustrated in the per-worker production function in the figure above by a movement from Production function 1 to Production function 2 from Production function 2 to Production function 1. from Production function 1 to Production function 3. up along any of the production functions
Why is a Cobb-Douglas production function useful for analyzing economic growth? O A. The Cobb-Douglas production function provides an efficient way of measuring the correlation of total factor productivity and consumption per worker. O B. The Cobb-Douglas production function provides a good fit to show consumption per worker and how multiple variables affectit. OC. The Cobb-Douglas production function provides a good fit to aggregate data and is also a good analytical tool for growth accounting. OD. The Cobb-Douglas production function provides an efficient method of measuring output per worker in the long run.
10. As an alternative to the story of Robinson Crusoe, macroeconomists use the "aggregate production function," written as Y = AF(L,K,H,N), to link economy-wide output Y to the number of workers L, the stock of physical capital K, the stock of human capital H, the stock of natural resources N, and stock of technological knowledge A. With reference to this aggregate production function, please indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. (a) The aggregate production function exhibits "constant returns to scale" if doubling the four inputs - workers L, physical capital K, human capital H, and natural resources N – while holding the stock of technological knowledge A fixed leads to a doubling of output. (b) The aggregate production function exhibits "constant returns to scale" if tripling the four inputs - workers L, physical capital K, human capital H, and natural resources N – while holding the stock of technological knowledge A fixed leads to a tripling of…

What is a labor abundant economy? A higher level of capital per worker No labor input in the production system Production that require a high level of capital Production that requires a low level of capital

Ecuador's economy has a production function that is as follows: Y = K2/5L3/5 The men in Ecuador generally stay home performing household chores while women work. Since the Ecuadorian state television stopped airing soap operas, many men decided to join the workforce and thus the labor force increased by 6.5%. However, recent storms have destroyed much of the capital stock of the country and thus the capital stock shrank by 2.5%. A. Assuming there is no change in total factor productivity in Ecuador, how would the output of Ecuador's economy change? B. How would labor productivity (output per worker) be affected by the increase in labor and decrease in capital stock? Explain. C. Assuming instead that Ecuador's economy grew by 4.9%, what would be the change in total factor productivity in the economy?
1. Assume individual's utility flow function takes form: u(c) = log(c), and the production function takes form: Y(t) = AK(t) + BL(t). Describe the physical capital accumnlation equation and obtain the GDP growth rate in the following economy: (a) RCK economy (b) OLG economy
The following graph shows a variety of possible production functions (PFs) in an imaginary economy, assuming constant levels of human capital and capital stock. Because human capital and capital stock remain unchanged, each of these production functions represents a different level of the technology. The slope of the line connecting the origin to point A is _______ (options: steeper, flatter) than the slope of the line connecting the origin to point B, because the slope of such a line is equivalent to __________ (options: the marginal physcial product of labor, marginal cost, productivity).
