For the following questions, you will need the following formula: let X₁ be the initial value, X, be the value after t periods and g be the growth rate by period, then X₁ = X₁ (1 + g)t . You may also need the log properties: log(ab) = blog(a) and log(ab) = log(a) + log(b). The properties imply: log(X) = log(X₁) + tlog(1+g). a. Suppose the initial real per capita GDP for countries A and B is 15 thousand dollars. If the annual growth rates of countries A and B are respectively 3.6% and 5.6%, what is the the ratio XB/XA after 39 years? Round your answer to the nearest first decimal. Number b. Suppose the annual growth rates of countries A and B are respectively 3.6% and 5.6%. How many years it will take for each country to double their respective real per capita GDP? Round your answer to the nearest first decimal. Country A: Number Country B: Number c. Suppose the initial real per capita GDP of countries A, B and C are respectively 10, 10 and 50 thousand dollars. If their annual growth rates are respectively 3.6%, 5.6% and 1.0%, how many years it will take for countries A and B to converge to country C? Round your answer to the nearest first decimal. Country A: Number

Q5 Suppose in a Solow model, we have the following parameter values: n = 0, s = 0.5, a = 0.3. There is no growth in the total factor productivity so that A, = A = 1. Moreover, we know that at time 0, the economy is at a steady state so that k = k, =1. Now imagine that a foreign power invaded this %3D country. 1% of the population was killed and another 14% of the population fleeded the country to avoid violence. Moreover, 15% of capital stocks were destroyed. All of this happens in period t=1. After that, the war ended and there was no more destruction of capital or loss of population (but the refugee permanently settled outside of the country and will never return0. What is the growth rate of per-capita output in period t =4?
The production function used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is written Y = AK L rY where Y is aggregate output, A is total-factor productivity, K is aggregate capital, L is the size of the labor force, I is aggregate intermediate input (e.g., energy, material), and the exponents are constants. Given this production function, which of the following expressions correctly represents the growth rate of per-capita income, 9Y? = gA + agK + BgL + Y9I = gA + agk + (1 – B) gL +ygı = 9A + agk + (B– 1) gL +Yg1 O None of the choices given is correct.

Consider the following Cobb-Douglas production function for the bus transportation system in a particular city: Q=aL B₁F B₂K B₂ where L = labor input in worker hours, F = fuel input in gallons, K = capital input in number of buses, and Q = output measured in millions of bus miles. Suppose that the parameters (a, B₁, B2, and B3) of this model were estimated using annual data for the past 25 years. The following results were obtained: a = 0.0012; B₁ = 0.45; B₂ = 0.20; and B3 = 0.30. Determine the labor, fuel, and capital input production elasticities.
