4. Consider the following endogenous growth model: a representative household's life-time utility function is given as: pe C(t)!-o – 1 -dt. 1- 0 The production function is: Y (t) = AK(t)ª Hp(t)'-a where Hp(t) denotes human capital used in production. Human capital accumulation equation is: Н() — ВНE() — 6H(), where HE(t) is human capital devoted to education. In total we have HE(t) + Hp(t) H(t). Denote the fraction of human capital allocated to production by ø(t). Please go as far as you can to characterize the balanced growth path of the economy.

Consider the Solow model (Y-AK1/4L3/4).

9 Based on the production function Y = AKaG1-a (with G representing public expenditure, and the remaining variables and parameters representing usual values), show, using the necessary assumptions the value of the tax amount that maximizes the economic growth rate. Then, represent graphically the situation.
1. (This is problem 3, page 238 of the textbook.) For a particular economy, the following capital input K and labor input N were reported in four different years: Year 1 234 4 K 200 250 250 300 N 1000 1000 1250 1200 The production function in this economy is Y=K0.3 Nº.7, where Y is total output. a. Find total output, the capital-labor ratio, and output per worker in each year. Compare year 1 with year 3 and year 2 with year 4. Can this production function be written in per-worker form? If so, write algebraically the per- worker form of the production function. b. Repeat Part (a) but assume now that the production function is Y = Kº.3 Nº.8
Suppose the GDP deflator was 200 in 2008 and 190 in 2009. In addition, nominal GDP was 1% lower in 2009 than in 2008. Given this information, the approximate. rate of real GDP growth in 2009 was: O 3% 4% O 5% 6%
Exercise 2: Growth and developmentCountries 1 and 2 have the production function: Yt = AiKαt L1−αt , where country 1 hasTotal Factor Productivity (TFP) of A1 = 25, country 2 has TFP A2 = 100, and α = 0.35for both. In the two countries population is constant and there is no technological progress.Every year capital depreciates by 6% in both countries. Country 1 saves 40% of output, andcountry 2 saves 20%.a) Write down the function of production per unit of labor. Suppose the two countriesstart with an initial capital stock (per unit of labor) of 500, what are the initial income andconsumption per unit of labor in both countries?b) Determine their steady state levels of capital, income and consumption per unit oflabor.c) Determine the difference in their steady state level of income per unit of labor, andhow much of that difference is due to differences in TFP and how much is due to differencesin capital per unit of labor.d) Suppose now that country 2 suddenly has access to the country 1…

Why do large differences in capital per worker lead to relatively small differences in predicted GDP across countries? Workers exert more effort when they have less capital Capital has a high depreciation rate 4 O The exponent on capital in the production function is much lower than one O Capital is not an input in production
Problem 2 - Macroeconomics- please help.
5. Consider an economy that has been on steady state until period tw (see Figure 4 below). Thus, capital per worker has been constant until tw. The economy's capital per worker until period tw is equal to k. (i.e. steady-state value) and is indicated by the horizontal line. Assume that the economy experiences a significant decrease in productivity after year tw. That is, A decreases or jumps downward after year tw (due to, for example, a corrupt group of oligarchs taking over the government and the economy becoming less efficient as a result). Using the plot in Figure 3, show how this change affects the dynamics of capital per worker (kt) during the periods after tw. Explain (verbally) the economic intuition. Figure 5.1 k₂ y* kt. Yt tw tw Figure 5.2 t
(Assume that L =>1 and K=>1) a) Verify that this change represents technological progress.
