"Consider the simple production model studied in class, but with different exponents. Suppose that the production function is Cobb-Douglas. The exponent on capital is 0.1 and the exponent on labor is 0.9. The data for this economy is A=10, K0-300 and the initial population is LO-30. We will assume that everyone in this country works so that population equals employment and per-person GDP equals per-worker GDP. Now suppose that the country receives foreign aid that is used to invest in infrastructure and electric vehicles. As a result, over the next few years, the economyos capital stock doubles to K1=600. Fortunately, no one is killed during the hurricane. In the initial final equilibrium, per-worker GDP will be..." Between 12.3% and 14.4% higher than in the initial equilibrium. Between 7.0% and 8.0% higher than in the initial equilibrium. Between 4.4% and 6.6% lower than in the initial equilibrium. None of the above.

Suppose Country A currently has more output and capital than Country B. However, Country A has no technological growth while Country B has persistent technological growth. Assume that the two countries are similar in all other variables. According to the Solow growth model with technological progress, we can expect that: O a. At some future point, Country B will have a higher income per capita. O b. In the steady state, Country B will reach the same income per capita as Country A. All the other statements are false. c. O d. Since they have different steady states, the growth of output per effective worker in both countries will have different rates.
If climate change impacts (e.g., increased heat waves, droughts, wildfires, etc.) decrease the economy's technology level A, then, through the lens of the Solow growth model (and assuming the economy was originally in a steady-state), holding all else constant, we would expect it to: O A. Decrease steady-state capital, decrease steady-state output, uncertain impact on steady-state consumption O B. Increase steady-state capital, increase steady-state output, uncertain impact on steady-state consumption OC. No impact on steady-state capital, decrease steady-state output, decrease steady-state consumption O D. Decrease steady-state capital, decrease steady-state output, decrease steady-state consumption If households are worried about climate change and this concern increases their savings rate, then holding all else constant (including A, so focusing only on the change in savings rates), we would expect it to: O A. Increase steady-state capital, increase steady-state output, decrease…
The basic Solow growth model was initially used to help governments of very low income nations measure what source of real GDP growth? O a) Growth due to factor accumulation. b) Growth due to technological progress. Oc) Growth due to efficiency gains. d) All of the above

Consider the Solow growth model with no population growth and no tech- nology growth, i.e., n = x = 0. Output is created by a Cobb-Douglas pro- duction function combining Labor, Lt, and capital, Kt, such that output Yt is given by Y₁ = A+ KL-a = = 2. Recall that, without population growth, Lt = Lo and assume that Lo Furthermore, recall that, without technology growth, At Ao and assume that A0 = 1. Assume that the savings rate is s = 0.4, the depreciation rate is = 0.15, and that the capital share is a = 0.3. A lower case letter denotes a variable in per capita. For example, kt = K₁/Lt. In the following questions, choose the closest number. What is the value of kss? (a) 40.6 (b) 4.1 c) 2.8 (d) 28
