The value of MPS.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 6E

The value of MPS is 0.10.

Explanation of Solution

Since income can only be either consumed or saved, therefore it can be written as

Y = C+S

Differentiating both sides with respect to Y

1 = MPC + MPS

Thus, MPS = 1 - MPC

In this case,

MPS = 10.9

MPS = 0.1

Economics Concept Introduction

MPS − The additional savings arising out of an additional unit of income.

The MPI is zero.

Explanation of Solution

In this case, the investment is not changing with income level. It is fixed. Hence, the marginal propensity to invest is zero.

Consider an economy that exhibits both population growth (L grows at rate n) and technological progress (A grows at rate a) described by the production function, Y = F(K, AL) = Ka (AL)¹-α Here K is capital and Y is output. (a) Show that this production function exhibits constant returns to scale. [2 marks] (b) What is the per-effective-worker production function, y = f(k), (where y = Y/AL k K/AL)? (Show your working.) [2 marks] (c) Find expressions for the steady-state capital-output ratio, capital stock per effective worker, and output per effective worker, as a function of the saving rate (s), the depreciation rate (8), the population growth rate (n), the rate of technological progress (a), and the coefficient a. (You may assume the condition that capital per effective worker evolves according to Ak = sf (k) - (a+n+8)k.) [5 marks] (d) Show that at the Golden Rule steady state the saving rate for this economy is equal to the parameter a. [6 marks]
A firm faces the following production function, Y = AKα L¹-a (1) Here Y is output, K is capital, L is fixed labour, and A is a measure of technology. The firm uses an optimal amount of capital determined by the condition, MPK = r +8 (2) Where MPK is the marginal productivity of capital, r is the real interest rate, and ♪ is the depreciation rate. (a) Using equations (1) and (2) find an expression for K*, the optimal amount of capital the firm should use. [3 marks] (b) Referring to your result from part (a), comment on what happens to K* when each of the following variables change (holding other variables constant), (i) The measure of technology (A) falls (ii) The depreciation rate (8) increases (iii) The real interest rate (r) increases [2 marks] [2 marks] [2 marks] [Hint: For each of parts (i)-(iii) you are being asked to comment on what happens to K* if just the variable mentioned in the question part changes.
