Part 1 - Practice Questions 1. Suppose that a country enacts a tax policy that discourages investment and pushes the savings rate permanently lower from 5₁ to 52. Assume the economy is initially in its steady state. a. Use the Solow diagram to explain how the economy reaches its new steady state. b. Draw a graph showing how output evolves over time with Y on the y-axis and time on the x-axis and explain what happens to growth over time. 2.

Suppose an economy is currently on a balance growth path as described by the Romer model. For the following scenarios, determine whether the change will affect growth of and/or level of output per person; make use of the two equations noted in experiment #1 and #2 in Lecture 6 to support your answer. Then, using a ratio scale graph, illustrate the initial balanced growth path and the new path caused…

4. On January 12th 2010 a devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 struck Haiti. As a result, about 40% of the capital stock of Haiti was destroyed. Assume the economy was at its steady state before the earthquake hit. Use the Solow Diagram to illustrate how the economy was impacted. Draw a graph showing how output evolves over time and explain what happens to the level and growth rate of per capita GDP.
In a neoclassical (Solow) growth model, does a decrease in the savings rate permanently affectsthe growth rate of real output? Why or why not? Explain and show graphically.
16 True or False? The key difference between the Solow and production/expenditure models of the economy is that the Solow model endogenizes the saving rate.
