Suppose that the per-worker production (labour productivity) function in South Korea is Y over L equals A open parentheses K over L close parentheses to the power of 0.4 end exponent open parentheses H over L close parentheses to the power of 0.6 end exponent. South Korea's labor productivity rises 6% per year, capital-labour ratio rises 5% per year, and human capital per worker rises 2% per year. This information suggests that total factor productivity grows at _________ per year.
K 0.25 (AL) 0.75, where technology A grows at Given the following aggregate production function: Y = a fixed rate: = g> 0 (a) Obtain the marginal product of capital algebraically, also discussing the second derivative. (b) Transform the production function into efficiency-worker terms, showing how =ỹ depends AL K on =k. AL
Which one is related to predicting GDP size in future? O GDP at starting date × (1+ growth rate of GDP)years O GDP at starting date + (1 + growth rate of GDP)years O GDP at starting date x (1 - growth rate of GDP)years O GDP at starting date x (2 + growth rate of GDP)years
A firm faces the following production function, Y = AKL¹-a (1) Here Y is output, K is capital, L is fixed labour, and A is a measure of technology. The firm uses an optimal amount of capital determined by the condition, MPK = r + 8 (2) Where MPK is the marginal productivity of capital, r is the real interest rate, and 8 is the depreciation rate. (a) Using equations (1) and (2) find an expression for K*, the optimal amount of capital the firm should use. (b) Referring to you result from part (a), comment on what happens to K* when each of the following variables change (holding other variables constant), The measure of technology (A) falls The depreciation rate (8) increases The real interest rate (r) increases (i) (ii) (iii) [Hint: For each of parts (i)-(iii) you are being asked to comment on what happen to K* if just the variable mentioned in the question changes. Your answers should state whether K* increases, decreases, or stays the same. This should be accompanied for each part by…
The biological relationship between the growth for the fish population and the size of the fish population is g = 15S(1-S/5) where g is the growth of the fish population and S is the size of the population. The size of the harvest is a function of the amount of human effort expended b = 3ES where E is the level of effort. Market price of fish per unit is $100 and a constant marginal cost of effort is $50. The maximum sustainable effort level is an effort level that maximizes b §. Then, the maximum sustainable effort level, E m= Write the number in one decimal place. Hint:

Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y=√K and annual investment is given by the function I=γ×YI where γ=0.280, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 4.67%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking.
The biological relationship between the growth for the fish population and the size of the fish population is g = 12S(1 - S/4) where g is the growth of the fish population and S is the size of the population. The size of the harvest is a function of the amount of human effort expended b = 3ES where E is the level of effort. Market price of fish per unit is $100 and a constant marginal cost of effort is $40. We can derive the free-access equilibrium effort level Ef by setting the net benefits function equal to zero. Then, E f = in one decimal place. Hint: Write the number
