In Wonderland production per worker (y) depends on capital per worker() such the y=10vk. Every year 15% of the capital stock depreciates, while workers in Wonderland save 10% of their income. Every year the population grows ratas te of 3% (c) The country of Neverland is identical to Wonderland in terms of output per worker, the savings rate, the depreciation rate and population growth. They differ in one respect: Wonderland has capital per worker of 10, whereas Neverland has capital per worker of 20. Which country experiences a higher growth rate of output per worker and how will their growth rates evolve over time?

Consider a country with production function unction ? = 5? 1/2, where y is the output per worker and kis capital per worker. Suppose the investment in capital occurs at a rate of 35% of income perworker every period, the depreciation rate is 1.5% and the population growth rate is 2%. Use excel toplot the production function, investment line and capital depletion line with k on the x-axis (usethe attached spreadsheet to draw your graphs).a. What is the steady state level of y and k.b. Suppose TFP increases by 20%. What happens to the steady state y and k?c. Suppose the investment rate increases to 40%. What happens to the steady state y and k?
Country A and Country B both have the production function Y = F(K,L) = K¹/32/3 neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 20 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 30 percent of output each year. Now suppose that both countries start in year 1 with a capital stock per worker of 1. In what year will consumption in country B be higher than consumption in Country A?

Suppose that the per hour worked form of the production function for an economy is given by y = 10k03 The depreciation rate is 11%, the saving rate is 21%, and the growth rate of labor hours is 7%. The steady-state capital-labor ratio for this economy is (Round your response to two decimal places.)
