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)
Q4. Illustrate the Steady-State of the Solow-Swan model and show the effect of an increase in the savings rate on the Steady-State. PLease expain detail with the diagram.
Venezuela experienced a large outow of population. Choose one scenario for the subsequent Venezuelan economy that cannot be explained by Solow model. (a) Assume that productivity is constant. If those who subsequently leave return to Venezuela, then in the long run the amount of capital will return to what it was before the population outow. (b) According to the Solow model, the capital per worker should be above it's steady state. Assuming population and productivity are xed, thereafter, capital per worker will decline. (c) Assume that productivity is constant. The level of real GDP immediately after outows is lower than the original level because of the decline in population. (d) Assuming that the population remains unchanged permanently after the population outow, even in the short term, Venezuela's growth rate will be determined solely from the growth rate of productivity.
(a) Two countries, Country A and Country B, are described by the Solow growth model. Both countries are identical, except that the rate of labor-augmenting technological progress is higher in A than in B. i. In which country is the steady-state growth rate of output per effective worker higher? ii. Does the Solow growth model predict that the two economies will converge to the same steady state? p (b) Based on the Solow growth model with population growth and labor-augmenting technological progress, explain how each of the following policies would affect the steady-state level and steady-state growth rate of total output per person: i. an increase in the government's budget deficit poits) inis) ii. grants to support research and development (c) Consider a Solow model where the production function no longer exhibits diminishing returns to capital accumulation. Assume the production function is now Y = AK. What happens to the growth rate of per capita GDP over time? (6pints)
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?
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
In this problem, we distinguish between labor and population in the Solow growth model. A proportion of the population, a, between zero and one, works. The production function is now written as Y = A(K^1/3)[(aL)^2/3] (a) How does an increase in a from 0.3 to 0.6 change steady state GDP? (b) Does it change the steady-state capital? Explain. (c) Suppose a rises steadily over time. How do you think would affect the growth rate of GDP?
In the steady state in the Solow model, which is NOT one of the uses of new capital? a. To replace depreciating capital b. To replace capital exported to other countries c. To provide capital for wore out capital and new workers d. To provide capital for new workers
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.
