Please assist to solve the below question. Suppose an economy is on a balanced growth path in a simple Romer model, as described in the text, where aggregate output is: Y, = A,Lyt, law of motion of ideas (idea production function) is: AA++1 = ZA“, Lat ; labour resource constraint is: Ly +Lat = L, and the allocation of labour is: La = IL, %3D where z is a productivity parameter of the researchers, Ao is the existing stock of ideas at time, t = 0, L is the total population and assumed to be constant, and i is the constant fraction of population who works in the research sector. Suppose in year 2030, research productivity z rises immediately and permanently to the new level z'. а. How would the growth rate of ideas behave if a <1? b. Assuming a = 1, solve for the new growth rate of knowledge and growth rate of output per capita. С. Assuming a = 1, sketch the graph of Iny against time t. d. Why might research productivity increase in an economy?
Consider an economy with a Cobb-Douglas production function with α = 1/3 that begins in steady state with a growth rate of technological progress of g of 2 percent. Consider what happens when g increases to 3 percent. (a) What is the growth rate of output per worker before the change? What happens to this growth rate in the long run? (b) Perform a growth accounting exercise for the economy, decomposing the growth rate in output per capita into components contributed by capital per capita growth and technology growth. What is the contribution of the change in g to output per capita growth according to this formula? (c) In what sense is the growth accounting result in part b producing a misleading picture of this experiment? Explain why this is the case.

Can you help me with this question please. Thank you! All help is hugely appreciated.
Suppose a Solow economy is initially at its steady state k∗, and suddenly is hit by a decrease in the depreciation rate δ, from δ to δ1. This change does not alter any of the other exogenous parameters in the model Depict this situation in a graph What happens to steady state level of capital per capita in this situation? What happens to the level of capital per capita over time? Depict this in a graph and explain intuitively.
What is the steady‑state level of capital? What is the steady‑state output?
Population Growth and Technological Progress-Work It Out An economy has a Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = K (LE)¹- The economy has a capital share of 0.20, a saving rate of 49 percent, a depreciation rate of 4.00 percent, a rate of population growth of 1.50 percent, and a rate of labor-augmenting technological change of 4.0 percent. It is in steady state. a. At what rates do total output and output per worker grow? Total output growth rate: Output per effective worker is constant in the steady state and does not change. increases in the steady state. declines in the steady state. % Output per worker growth rate: %
Population Growth and Technological Progress – Work It Out PLEASE WRITE ANSWERS CLEARLY An economy has a Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = K“(LE)'-a The economy has a capital share of 0.30, a saving rate of 42 percent, a depreciation rate of 4.00 percent, a rate of population growth of 5.25 percent, and a rate of labor-augmenting technological change of 3.5 percent.
