(This is problem 3, page 239 of the textbook.) This problem adds the government to the Solow model. Suppose that a government purchases goods in the amount of g per worker every year; with N, workers in year t, total government purchases are gNt. The government has a balanced budget so that its tax revenue in year t, Tt, equals total government purchases. Total national saving, St, is St=s (Yt- Tt), where Yt is total output and s is the saving rate. Graphically show the steady state for the initial level of government purchase per worker. Suppose that the government permanently increases its purchases per worker. What are the effects on the steady-state levels of capital per worker, output pe worker, and consumption per worker? Does your result imply that the optima level of government purchases is zero?

Assume a two-period small open economy model, where the national product is 50 in the current period, and 88 in the future period. The world real interest rate is 10% per period. The representative consumer has the following utility function: U(c,G,c’,G’) = ln(c+G) + ln(c’+G’). a) What are the optimal consumption plus government spending in the current and in the future period? What is the current account surplus? Show this in a diagram. b) Now, suppose that governments in the rest of the world impose a tax on lending to foreigners of 5%. Determine how this affects consumption plus government spending in the present and the future, and the current account surplus. Explain your results. c) Suppose that governments in the rest of the world still impose a tax on lending to foreigners of 5%. However, the national country found a huge reserve of oil and the current period income increased to 100. The Determine how this affects consumption plus government spending in the present and the…
Draw a graph with the following elements: A Solow growth (Y) function where Y= square root of K An investment (I) function where I = % * Y A depreciation (D) function where D = % * K

Given a saving rate of 6%, a depreciation rate of 1%, and a production function in which y = k0.5 where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker, calculate the steady state values for capital per worker, output per worker, consumption per worker, and Calculate the golden rule steady state level of capital Assuming an economy is at steady state, with the use of an appropriate diagram with descriptions illustrate the impact of a reduction in the saving rate on capital per worker and output per worker. In the context of the Solow model, illustrate with appropriate descriptions the impact of increased migrant workers on capital per worker and output per worker in an economy.

This question requires that you use the law of motion of capital, the production function, and the national income accounts identity. Suppose that a nation's production function is Y= F(Kt,Lt)=K%L}-a You have the following information: The share of income paid to owners of capital The rate of depreciation, 8 =1 The savings rate s=15 The initial capital stock Ko=1 The labor supply, for all t>0 is L=1 What is the long run level of consumption? Please give an exact answer. This question will accept any answer within 0.1 of the correct answer 1/3
Suppose that the economy of Santa Cruz County follows the equations of the Solow model. It has an investment rate of 0.6 and a depreciation rate of 0.2, and an aggregate production function Y=4K(1/4) In the year 2019 the economy is in steady state. But in 2020 the CZU wildfire destroys 50% of the capital stock (so K2020= 0.5 K2019). Assuming the economy returns to its usual growth dynamics after that, what would the growth rate of GDP from 2020 to 2021? Write your answer in percentage points and round to 1 decimal place (e.g. 4.2 would mean 4.2% growth from 2020 to 2021).

The IMF forecasted Australia’s real GDO at $1,730 billion in 2017 and $1,732 billion in 2018, and Australia’s population at 24.6 million in 2017 and 25.0 million in 2018. Calculate: a) The growth rate of real GDP b) The growth rate of real GDP per person. c) The approximate number of years it will take for real GDP per person in Australia to double if the current growth rate of real GDP is maintained.
