167. Explain how rapid population growth can contribute to rapid economic growth even when Solow and other models all show that population growth reduces the level of income in the early stage. *3-4 paragraphs*

If real GDP per capita is increasing, the rate of real GDP growth is: O less than the rate of population growth. O greater than the rate of population growth. less than the rate of inflation. greater than the rate of inflation.
If climate change impacts (e.g., increased heat waves, droughts, wildfires, etc.) decrease the economy's technology level A, then, through the lens of the Solow growth model (and assuming the economy was originally in a steady-state), holding all else constant, we would expect it to: O A. Decrease steady-state capital, decrease steady-state output, uncertain impact on steady-state consumption O B. Increase steady-state capital, increase steady-state output, uncertain impact on steady-state consumption OC. No impact on steady-state capital, decrease steady-state output, decrease steady-state consumption O D. Decrease steady-state capital, decrease steady-state output, decrease steady-state consumption If households are worried about climate change and this concern increases their savings rate, then holding all else constant (including A, so focusing only on the change in savings rates), we would expect it to: O A. Increase steady-state capital, increase steady-state output, decrease…
Consider the Solow growth model with no population growth and no tech- nology growth, i.e., n = x = 0. Output is created by a Cobb-Douglas pro- duction function combining Labor, Lt, and capital, Kt, such that output Yt is given by Y₁ = A+ KL₁-a = = Ao and Recall that, without population growth, Lt Lo and assume that Lo = 10. Furthermore, recall that, without technology growth, At assume that A0 = 2. Assume that the savings rate is s = 0.2, the depre- ciation rate is 8 = 0.1, and that the capital share is a = 0.3. A lower case letter denotes a variable in per capita. For example, kt= Kt/Lt. In the following questions, choose the closest number. What is the value of kss? (a) 72 (b) 27 (c) 7.2 (d) 2.7 What is the value of Yss for the Economy described in Question 7 (a) 36 (b) 3.6 (c) 2.7 (d) 27 Suppose that the economy described in Question 7 economy starts with Ко = 10. Choose the correct one for the change in capital over time. (a) fall (b) grow (c) Once dropped, it grows (d) unchange…
which statement \s are true. use graphs to exlain a. In the Solow growth model, the saving rate is a crucial determinant of the economy's long-run growth rate of output per worker. b. In the endogenous growth model , the representative firm sets the wage so that the demand and supply of efficiency units of labour are equal. c. In the endogenous growth model , there is no steady state of the economy as human capital will always continue to grow forever. d. The assumption of Constant Returns to Scale technology implies that the marginal product of factor imput is always decreasing.
In the Solow growth model with technological progress, explain carefully what happens if the labour force growth rate suddenly decreases (for instance because of an ageing population in the country)? Use a figure to illustrate your answer!
An affluent country's income per capita is consistently growing at a pace higher than that of less developed countries. According to the Solow growth model, which of the following can likely explain this? (i) The affluent country is relatively closer to its steady state level. (ii) The affluent country has more rapid technological growth. (iii) The affluent country has a lower saving rate. 4 O a. Only (ii) O b. Only (iii) O c. Only (1) O d. (i), (ii), and (iii)
