Why was Land Use Reform a successful policy in several Asian countries in promoting economic growth? By making public land available for farming, peasant farmers could rotate crops more easily. By making all farmland publicly owned, farmers could collectively work to maximize their yields. O By reallocating farmland for use in manufacturing, industrialization was incentivized. O By taking farmland away from landlords and giving it to peasant farmers, those farmers had an incentive to improve their yields.
Suppose the per-worker production function is: y = A(1-gA) Where ga is the fraction of all workers that produce technologies. Further, suppose the growth of technology is given by the following equation growth of A = (g//m)(L) Suppose L = 1 and m = 7, and that initially ga = 0.7. If ga fell to 0.8 the level of output per %3D worker would: fall Impossible to say rise stay the same
Consider the Swan-Solow model of economic growth. [Hint: Question (e) below goes beyond the subject matter discussed in the lecture and requires you to think independently.] c) Draw a typical Depreciation curve into the diagram. Briefly explain how you came up with the curve and what you need to know to exactly pin it down.
Question 2Assume production function is given by:Y= K(1/2) L(1/2)a. Write the production function in per worker terms (y=f(k))b. Assume that the per worker level of capital in the steady state is 4, the depreciation rate is 5% per year, and population growth is 5% per year. Does this economy have “too much” or “too little” capital? How do you know? [Show your work].
Reference equation: Real GDP per capita growth rate = Nominal GDP per capita growth rate rate. - Inflation rate – Population growth This equation is an approximation of the exact rate of growth of GDP per capita, and so it results in some errors when calculating this rate. However, the simplified equation is both easy to use and results in small error terms when inflation, nominal GDP growth, and population growth are low, and so it is a useful approximation. The table below lists a fictional country's nominal GDP, real GDP, GDP deflator, and population over two years. Year 2019 2020 Nominal GDP $1,100,000 $1,200,000 GDP deflator 100 102 Real GDP (2019 dollars) $1,100,000 $1,176,471 Population 1,000 1,005 a. Verify that the real GDP values in the above table are accurate. Instructions: Round your answers to one decimal place. b. This country's real GDP per capita for 2019 is $ This country's real GDP per capita for 2020 is $ c. The growth rate in this country's real GDP per capita…
Problem 5 A “miraculous" Asian economy has an aggregate wage bill of 300 billion dollars and an aggregate GDP of 500 billion. The annual growth rate of aggregate GDP for this economy over the last 10 years was 7 percent (that is AY/Y=0.07) and the growth rate of labor was 6 percent (AL/L=0.06). Imagine that the production function is given by the standard Cobb-Douglas AK“L“. ,а, 1-а Y What are the "capital share (a)" and the "labor share (1 – a)"? b. Imagine that the government controls the national accounts. In its quest to improve its reputation, the government mistakenly thinks that having "a lot of investment" will make it look good so it "inflates" its growth of capital number to 12% (AK/K=0.12). When researchers estimate the rate of productivity growth (AA/A), what will they find? Is the growth rate of technology positive or negative? Does your result in (b) make sense? d. The actual truth is that the growth rate of capital was one half of what it announced. That is, instead of…
