Given a saving rate of 5%, a depreciation rate of 1%, and a production function in which y = k0.5where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker, calculate the steady state values forii. output per worker, iii. consumption per worker, iv. Calculate the golden rule steady state level of capital
Population Growth Population growth in the US has, for a very long time been about 1% per year.Take the production function to be y = k0.5, where y and k are output andcapital per capita. The depreciation rate is about 10% per year and the savingsrate is about 20%. 1. What is the steady state capital per capita rate?2. From one period to the next, at what rate does total capital (not percapita) grow.3. If the population growth rate grew to 1.5%, how much would steady statecapital per capita change? Then how much is total capital changing atthis steady state?
Suppose that the production function is Y= 10(K)1/4 (L)3/4 and capital lasts for an average of 50 years so that 2% of capital wears out every year. Assume that the rate of growth of population equals 0. If the saving rate, s =0.128, calculate the steady-state level of capital per worker, output per worker, consumption per worker, saving and investment per worker and depreciation per worker.
A country has the per-worker production function yt=6(kt)0.5, where yt is output per worker, and kt is the capital-labor ratio. The capital depreciation rate is 0.1, and the population growth rate is 0.1. The saving function is St=0.1Yt, where St is total national saving, and Yt is total output. The steady-state value of investment per worker is
Assume that a country's per-worker production is y = k1/2, where y is output per worker and kis capital per worker. Assume also that 10 percent of capital depreciates per year (= 0.10) 2 andthere is no population growth or technological change.a. If the saving rate (s) is 0.4, what are capital per worker, production per worker, andconsumption per worker in the steady state?b. Solve for steady-state capital per worker, production per worker, and consumption perworker with s = 0.6.c. Solve for steady-state capital per worker, production per worker, and consumption perworker with s = 0.8.d. Is it possible to save too much? Why?
Two countries B and C have a production function Y= AK^1/3 L^2/3 The population growth rate is 0.1, physical capital depreciates at the rate of 0.1, and A = 1. In country B the saving rate is sB=0.2 and in country C the saving rate is sC=0.4. Write the production function in terms of output per capita (Y/N) and find the steady-state values of the capital-labour ratio (K/N) in both countries.
Given a saving rate of 4%, a depreciation rate of 1%, and a production function inwhich y = k0.5 where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker, calculate thesteady state values fori. capital, ii. output, iii. consumption, and calculate the golden rule steady state level of capital
select the correct one(s) a) Suppose s = 0.15, Y = 4200, K = 6100, n = 0.03, g=0.03 and δ= 0.10. This makes national saving smaller than steady-state investment, so that the amount of capital per effective worker will be falling. b) In the graph of the Solow growth model, at any point to the left of the steady-state intersection we have national saving per effective labour greater than steady-state investment per person, causing (K/AL) to increase. c) In the Solow growth model, an increase in the marginal propensity to consume shifts the steady-state investment line downward with the implied change in the capital stock resulting in a higher standard of living in the long run.
Suppose that the production function is Y=K^((1)/(3))(EL)^((2)/(3)) where E is the efficiency of labor. (a) Derive the per-efficiency-unit-of-labor production function. (i.e., y=f(k)= Y//EL) (b) Solve for the steady state value of y as a function of s,n,g, and d (c) A developed country has a savings rate of 28% and a population growth rate of 1% per year. A less-developed country has a saving rate of 10% and a population growth of 4% per year. In both countries, g=0.02 and d=0.04. Find the steady state value
A Solow Growth Economy with production function Y=K¹/²(AL)¹/² has a savings rate of 24 percent, a depreciation rate of 2 percent, labour force growth of 1 percent and technological progress improving at 3 percent per year. Provide a labelled diagram to illustrate and quantify the determination of equilibrium output per effective worker and capital per effective worker.
please answer the following, I have attached an image of the question for better format. Thanks! 3. Suppose that the production function of a country is given by Y=KaL1-a, where 0<a<1, Y is output, L is labour, and K is capital, Derive the equation for steady state capital per worker, output per worker, and consumption per worker in terms of the saving rate (s) and depreciation rate (d).
Country A and country B both have the production function Y= F(K,L)= K 1/2 L 1/2 Assume that neither country experiences population growth nor technological progress and that 5% of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10% of output each year and country B saves 20% of output each year. Using your answer from part (a) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country. Then find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. (b) Suppose that both countries start off with a capital per stock per worker of 2. What are the levels of income per worker and consumption per worker? Remembering that the change in the capital stock is investment less depreciation, use a calculator to show how the capital stock per worker will evolve over time in both countries. For each year, calculate income per worker and…
