A small economy only produces two goods: steak and potatoes. This information is shown in the table. Based on the table, if year 1 is the base year, the growth rate of real GDP is: Good Steak Potato 6.6%. 8.0%. 9.4%. 10.8%. Year 1 Price $15 $1 Quantity 1,000 50,000 Year 2 Price $20.00 $0.50 Quantity 800 60,000
Two sub periods in the long period of 1950-1979. The sub periods considered are 1950-1953 and 1974-1979. The average GDP growth in 1950-1979 period has been 5% but the average growth rates varied greatly from one sub period to another since the economic conditions and performances were very different in each sub period. Let me precise that in 1950-53 period the average GDP growth attained roughly 10% while in 1974-1979 period it remained at 3%. -Describe briefly the main structural and economic policy characteristics of these two sub periods concerning the two variables of the production function: the capital stock and the labour (employment).

Recall the Production function in the Solow Growth model with exogenous technological change is Y = AK [(1 + YA) Ne]¹-8 The following questions require you to download the excel spreadsheet posted on the course web page called Growth_Accounting.xlsx. The spreadsheet contains data for four variables on the US economy from 1960-2007: Real GDP, Capital Stock, total work hours, and working age population. Real GDP, Capital Stock, and total hours are in Billions. Working age population is millions.

6.5 Exercises Exercise 6.1 (Technological Progress and Long-Run Growth). Consider a Solow economy with population growth and technological progress. The evolution of the capital stock per efficiency unit of labor, denoted k1, is given by the law of motion (1+n)(1+ g)kt+1 = (1 – 8)kt +of(kt). Capital per efficiency unit of labor is defined as k, = Kt/(LEt), where Kt denotes the stock of physical capital, L, denotes population, and E is a tech- nological factor. Population grows at the rate n and the technological factor grows at the rate g. The subscript t denotes time, measured in years. The parameters d E (0, 1) and o > 0 denote, respectively, the depreciation rate of capital and the savings rate. The function f(k;) represents the produc- tion technology. Specifically, let Y, denote output and yt = Yt/(LEt) denote output per efficiency unit of labor. Then yt = f(kt). Assume that f(kt) = /k. 1. Find the steady-state stock of capital per efficiency unit of labor, de- noted k*, as a…
