Use the Solow model with exogenous growth to answer the following.Q 3.1: Following a reduction in the population growth rate, output per worker growth permanently increases. True or False Q 3.2: Following a reduction in the population growth rate, output per worker growth permanently increases. True or False Q 3.3: The only way to increase the long-run growth rate of output per worker is to increase the growth rate of labor efficiency. True or False Q 3.4: Following a decrease in TFP, output per worker growth temporarily declines. True or False
We have an innovation-based Schumpeterian model in which productivity and aggregate output growth are driven by product improvements, which are driven in turn by spending on Research and Development (R&D). However, as the economy becomes larger, and more technologically advanced, it becomes more complex.
Economics 4. The Solow model says that population growth will not benefit a country in the long run but Michael Kremer disagrees. Explain both positions. Use a graph to explain Solow's argument. 5. The amount of education the typical person receives varies substantially among countries. Suppose you were to compare a country with a highly educated labor force and a country with a less educated labor force. Assume that education affects only the level of the efficiency of labor. Also assume that the countries are otherwise the same: They have the same saving rate, the same depreciation rate, the same population growth rate, and the same rate of technological progress. Both countries are described by the Solow model and are in their steady states. How would the following variables differ between the countries? A. The rate of growth of total income B. The level of income per worker C. The real rental price of capital D. The real wage
One problem with all exponential growth models is that nothing can grow exponentially forever. Describe factors that might limit the size of a population.
a) Consider two countries that have the same parameters and exogenous variables (i.e. they have the same values for s¯, d¯, L¯ etc). Country A starts with a level of capital above the steady state. Country B starts below the steady state. First, plot the Solow diagram, explain why country B will grow but country A will shrink. b) Solve for steady state level of capital per person, k∗.
There exist several drawbacks in the Solow growth model (Solow, 1956) that does not make the model provide satisfying answers to the central questions about economic growth. Explain the key problems with the Solow growth model that led to the emergence of the endogenous growth models (e.g., productive externalities and R&D models of endogenous growth)
Which of the following is an incorrect statement about the variable ‘s’ in the Solow Growth Model? a.s is the fraction of income that is saved b.s is an exogenous factor c.s is referred to as saving per worker d.s determines how income is allocated between consumption and investment
Consider the Solow growth model in which population evolves according to: N′ = (1 + n)N where N is the population (labor force) in the current period, N′ is the population (labor force) in the future period, and n is the population growth rate. There are public health expenditures that takes the form of government spending, G = gN, where G is the current period government spending on health care, g is the per-capita health spending in the current period. The production technology is given by Y = zKαN1−α where Y is the output of the consumption good, z is the total factor productivity, K is the current period capital stock, aN is the labour input, and 0 < α < 1 is a parameter. Consumers save a constant fraction, s, of their disposable income, where 0 < s < 1. Suppose that the economic is hit by a pandemic (e.g. Covid-19) which causes a temporary decrease in total factor productivity, z, as certain sectors in the economy (e.g. entertainment, travel etc.) cannot deliver…
Please answer all the questions below with a detailed and 100% correct solution.
Choose the following opton: 1) In the very long run, across the next fifty years, a country’s economic standard of living as measured by Real GDP Per Person can grow steadily as a result of sustained growth in one of the following two values. The correct focus of growth policy will be to promote: (a) Labor Productivity (b) Total Labor Effort 2) The correct answer to Q#1 is a consequence of which feature of any country’s economy. In the very long run, fifty years and beyond: a) Total Labor Effort (Aggregate Labor Hours) can grow faster than a country’s Population. b) Total Labor Effort (Aggregate Labor Hours) cannot grow faster than a country’s Population.
Our simple growth model implies that Select one: a.countries with higher K/L ratios will have higher economic growth. b.increases in K/L increase Y/L but at a diminishing rate. c.capital has no impact on Y/L. d.there is little prospect of poor countries catching up with rich countries. In the past few years, several high profile celebrities have campaigned for debt relief for HIPC's (Highly Indebted Poor Countries). While debt relief can potentially play a useful role in poverty reduction there are also some possible downsides such as Select one: a.reducing a poor nations exports. b.increasing government deficits. c.encouraging further debt by setting up an expectation that future debts will also be forgiven. d.under cutting local markets for food and other commodities given as aid.
