Explain how and why we need to extend the standard Solow model of long-run economic growth without technological progress to account for the increase of global GDP over the last 200 years. Critically discuss the standard Solow model with technological progress.
In the Solow growth model without population growth and technological progress, consumption per worker will be maximized in the steady state when: (1) Output per worker is maximized. (ii) Investment per worker is maximized. (iii) The marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate. O a. (i), (ii), and (ii) O b. Only (iii) O c. Only (ii) Od. Only (1)
In the Solow growth model with no population growth and no technological change, the output per worker increases when investment per worker is greater than depreciation of capital per worker. Select one: True False
In the Solow growth model, suppose that the per-worker production function is given by y = zk 0.4 with s = 0.15, d = 0.1, and n = 0.02. a. Suppose in country A that z= 1. Calculate the steady-state capital per worker and income per capita in country A. The steady-state capital per worker is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The steady-state income per capita is. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Suppose in country B that z = 2. Calculate the steady-state capital per worker and income per capita in country B. The steady-state capital per worker is|. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The steady-state income per capita is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. As measured by GDP per capita, how much richer is country B than country A? What does this tell us about the potential differences in total factor productivity to explain differences in standards of living across countries? Country B is times richer than country A, as measured by GDP per capita. This…
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.
Consider the following Solow diagram, indicating two sep-arate savings rates, 0.2 and 0.4: Suppose the savings rate is 0.2. At the steady state, what is capital per worker? What is output per worker? How much is saved per worker? Suppose the population growth rate is equal to the depreciationrate. Solve for n and d.
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
A key assumption of the Solow Growth Model is that: (a) the marginal product of capital diminishes as additional units of capital are added; (b) output per capita declines as a nation’s capital to labor ratio increases; (c) the marginal product of labor tends to rise as additional units of labor are added; (d) capital tends to depreciate at an increasing rate as a nation’s output increases.
The government of "Arcadia" is considering various proposals to increase the country's GDP growth rates. Using the predictions of the Solow growth model, please discuss the merits of each of the proposed ideas for generating growth in income. For each proposal does your answer change in the short and long run? That is, would you always give the same advice? a. Information campaign to encourage people to save in an effort to increase national savings rate. o. Investment in building new roads connecting villages to cities (in this case existing road infrastructure is limited in the country)
An affluent country's income per capita is consistently growing at a pace higher than that of less developed countries. According to the Solow growth model, which of the following can likely explain this? (i) The affluent country is relatively closer to its steady state level. (ii) The affluent country has more rapid technological growth. (iii) The affluent country has a lower saving rate. 4 O a. Only (ii) O b. Only (iii) O c. Only (1) O d. (i), (ii), and (iii)
