Consider an economy that exhibits both population growth (L grows at rate n) and technological progress (A grows at rate a) described by the production function, Y = F(K,AL) = Kª(AL)¹-α| Here K is capital and Y is output. (a) Show that this production function exhibits constant returns to scale. What is the per-effective-worker production function? (c) Find expressions for the steady-state capital-output ratio, capital stock per effective worker, and output per effective worker, as a function of the saving rate (s), the depreciation rate (8), the population growth rate (n), the rate of technological progress (a), and the coefficient a. (You may assume the condition that capital per effective worker evolves according to Ak = sf (k) − (a +n+8)k.) (d) Show that at the Golden Rule steady state the saving rate for this economy is equal to the parameter a.

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?
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?
The Solow Growth Model is a model that is often used to explain the theoretical relationship between several factors that determine a country's economic growthcountry.(a) Explain what you know about the Solow Growth Model and what are the most important determinants of a country's long-term growth rate?(b) Within the framework of the Solow Growth Model, how does population growth affect a country's economic growth rate?(c) Still within the framework of the Solow Growth Model, how does technological progress affect a country's growth rate?
