The Treasury is currently estimating the growth level for Australia. They are concerned about population growth and they have ask you to help them to prepare a report that accounts for an increase in the population size over time. You remember your time at UNSW and decide to use the Solow-Swan model to prepare your report. The ABS forecast that population will growth at a constant rate n, where n > 0. When this assumption is made, the capital accumulation equation (in per capita terms) assumes the following format: Ak, = sy₁ - (n+6)k, where s is the savings rate and 6 is the capital depreciation rate. In your report you need to answer the following questions: 1. Find the steady-state level of income per capita assuming the production function follows the standard Cobb- Douglas production function. Show your work, step-by-step.

Q5 Suppose in a Solow model, we have the following parameter values: n = 0, s = 0.5, a = 0.3. There is no growth in the total factor productivity so that A, = A = 1. Moreover, we know that at time 0, the economy is at a steady state so that k = k, =1. Now imagine that a foreign power invaded this %3D country. 1% of the population was killed and another 14% of the population fleeded the country to avoid violence. Moreover, 15% of capital stocks were destroyed. All of this happens in period t=1. After that, the war ended and there was no more destruction of capital or loss of population (but the refugee permanently settled outside of the country and will never return0. What is the growth rate of per-capita output in period t =4?

Assume an endogenous growth model with labour augmenting technology. The production function is Y=RK,AN), with A = 2(KIN) such that y = 2k. If the savings rate is s= 0.08, the rate of population growth is n = 0.03, and the rate of depreciation is d= 0.04, what is the growth rate of output per capita? Multiple Choice 1% 3% 4% 7% 9%
THE COLLAPSE OF THE GROWTH TIGERS Following in the footsteps of Japan, many other east Asian countries followed suit and generated unprecedented growth rates that averaged about 10% per year Hong Kong and Taiwan were first, followed by South Korea and Singapore. More recently, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia posted growth rates of close to 10%. All of these countries maintained these superheated growth rates for at least two decades. Thus it came as a major shock to economists and investors around the world when the Thai baht uncoupled from the dollar and devalued in July 1997. The Malaysian ringgit, Indonesian rupiah, and the South Korean won quickly followed suit, with all of these currencies falling more than 50% relative to the dollar during late 1997 and early 1998. The currencies of Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan also came under pressure but were not devalued. Not only did the superheated growth rates of the growth tigers suddenly come to a halt, but these countries plunged…
Consider a Solow growth model with the formulation investment = 0.192√/K Y = 0.384√/K, Where & is the rate of depreciation, K is level of capital, and Y is the level of output.

Consider the Solow model (Y-AK1/4L3/4). Suppose that the productivity parameter is A=500, the depreciation rate is d=1/10, the savings (investment) rate is s=0.30, and the labor force is constant and equal to 2 million.

Suppose a Solow economy is initially at its steady state k∗, and suddenly is hit by a decrease in the depreciation rate δ, from δ to δ1. This change does not alter any of the other exogenous parameters in the model Depict this situation in a graph What happens to steady state level of capital per capita in this situation? What happens to the level of capital per capita over time? Depict this in a graph and explain intuitively.
Consider a Solow-Swan model with saving rate s - 0.4, labour force growth g, - 0.05. constant productivity A = 1, and depreciation = 0.05. If output per worker is y = Y/L = 200 and capital per worker is k = K/L = 800, which of the following is true? O Efective depreciation per worker is 60, saving per worker is 80 and k will decrease towards the steady state Effective depreciation per worker is 80, saving per worker is 80 and k is at the steady state O Efective depreciation per worker is 60, saving per worker is 80 and k will increase towards the steady state O Effective depreciation per worker is 80, saving per worker is 60 and k will decrease towards the steady state
