- In the Solow growth model, suppose that the per-worker production function is given by y = zk 0.4 with s = 0.15, d = 0.1, and n = 0.02. a. Suppose in country A that z= 1. Calculate the steady-state capital per worker and income per capita in country A. The steady-state capital per worker is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The steady-state income per capita is. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. Suppose in country B that z = 2. Calculate the steady-state capital per worker and income per capita in country B. The steady-state capital per worker is|. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The steady-state income per capita is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. As measured by GDP per capita, how much richer is country B than country A? What does this tell us about the potential differences in total factor productivity to explain differences in standards of living across countries? Country B is times richer than country A, as measured by GDP per capita. This…Productivity and growth policies Consider a hypothetical small island nation in which the only industry is cloud computing. The following table displays information about the economy over a two year period. Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labor productivity. Hint: Recall that productivity is defined as the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour. In this problem, measure productivity as the quantity of goods per hour of labor. Year 2039 2040 Physical Capital (Servers) 200 480 Labor Force (Workers) Based on your calculations, productivity from 2039 to 2040. 100 120 Physical Capital per Worker (Servers) Labor Hours (Hours) 4,500 4,200 in physical capital per worker from 2039 to 2040 is asociated with Suppose you're in charge of establishing economic policy for this small island country.

- > Consider the data in the table below: Per capita GDP, 2017 Saving rate (%) TFP (Ā) United States 1.000 23.5 1.000 Switzerland 1.151 28.8 1.052 Answer the following questions using the Solow growth model. 9. Assuming no differences in TFP (ignore the last column) and no differences in the rate of depreciation between the U.S. and Switzerland, use the data in the table to predict the ratio of per capita GDP of Switzerland relative to that of the U.S. in the steady states. How much percent richer is Switzerland than the U.S. in steady state? 10. Now do the same exercise assuming TFP is given by the levels in the last column. Now how much percent richer is Switzerland than the U.S. in steady state? Consider the data in the table below: Per сapita GDP, 2017Assume positive population growth ( n > 0) and technological progress ( g > 0 ).

What will the income of the two countries be when it is equal? type answer only. Do it correctly. Multiple votes will given accordingly.Think of an economy with a Malthusian demographic relationship, and with a production function of Y = K^α * E^β * (AL)^ (1-α-β), and a population growth function of gL = ϴy^μ. You know what the growth rate of productivity is 0.02, the size of α is 0.16, the size of β is 0.35, that ϴ is 0.03, and that μ is 0.61. What is the steady state level of GDP per capita? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
- Which of the following statements is accurate: New growth theory suggests that human capital is irrelevant for economic growth. New growth theory suggests that economic growth is unsustainable because of population growth. New growth theory suggests that restraining population growth is important for economic growth.
