24. Suppose we started out at the steady state capital stock in the basic Solow growth model (see graph a few questions ago). If the government increased the budget deficit (ceteris paribus) with an increase in government spending (with no change in taxes) to create an decrease in the supply of loanable funds (to the business sector and assume this does not shift the demand for loanable funds), then as we move to the new steady state over time we would expect to see O economic growth rates turn positive as we move toward the new steady state and the nation's capital stock to grow from its current level. O economic growth rates turn negative as we move toward the new steady state and the nation's capital stock to decrease from its current level. O economic growth rates turn positive as we move toward the new steady state and the nation's capital stock to decrease from its current level. O economic growth rates turn negative as we move toward the new steady state and the nation's capital stock to grow from its current level O economic growth rates stay the same as we move toward the new steady state and the nation's capital stock to grow from its current level.

What are the advantages of backwardness for economic growth?
Suppose we started out at the steady state capital stock in the basic Solow growth model (see graph a few questions ago). If there subsequently were an increase in the demand for loanable funds due to more favorable tax treatment of business investment, ceteris paribus (i.e., holding other factors constant, including no shift in the supply of loanable funds), then as we move to the new steady state over time we would expect to see Group of answer choices A) economic growth rates turn negative as we move toward the new steady state and the nation’s capital stock to decrease from its current level. B) economic growth rates turn positive as we move toward the new steady state and the nation’s capital stock to decrease from its current level. C) economic growth rates turn positive as we move toward the new steady state and the nation’s capital stock to grow from its current level. D) economic growth rates turn negative as we move toward the new steady state and the nation’s…

1. Carefully draw a graph depicting steady state conditions within the Solow Growth Model framework. Carefully explain, making reference to depreciation rates and savings rates, how the steady state level of capital is determined. Now, demonstrate how the economy can grow from this point forward (in separate analyses) assuming: (a.) widespread improvements in production technology, and (b.) increases in savings rates. For each analysis show and carefully describe how the new steady state level of capital is attained.
1. Draw a well-labeled graph that illustrates the steady-state of the Solow model with population growth. Use the graph to find what happens to steady-state capital per worker and income per worker in response to each of the following exogenous changes.a. A change in consumer preferences increases the saving rate.b. A change in weather patterns increases the depreciation rate.c. Better birth-control methods reduce the rate of population growth.
Within the Solow Growth Model framework, explain why capital accumulation cannot be the main driver of growth in the long-run for a developed country (i.e. intuitively explain why an economy converges to a steady state equilibrium).
10.In the Solow model of economic growth, a country with a higher rate of capital depreciation will, ceteris paribus, have a steady-state equilibrium withA. lower output per worker.B. higher capital to labour ratio.C. the same capital to labour ratio.D. more investment. PROVIDE A BRIEF WRITTEN EXPLANATION JUSTIFYING YOUR CHOICE.
Use a diagram to represent the Solow Growth model using the aggregate production function and the relationship between the physical capital stock and aggregate saving. i) Which point in the diagram represents the steady-state equilibrium? Why? ii) Use the diagram to show the impact of an increase in human capital on GDP.
Graphically show and explain the effect of the followings on the Steady State in Solow Growth Model, (Graph should be properly labelled and clearly drawn) a) The investment rate decreases. b) A fall in the depreciation rate.
Critically analyse the Solow Growth Model and show how it explains the growth during the transitional dynamics. Does the model predict that poor economies always grow faster than rich economies? Explain.
