Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Which is an example of the aggregate production function, Y = F(K, N), that exhibits constant returns to scale? Y= 2 K N Y = 3 K N Y = K/N Y= 2K + 3 NCountry A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K^0,5L^0,5 A. Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. B. What is the per-worker production function, y = f(k)? C. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 5 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 20 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part (b) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country. Theen find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. D. Suppose that both countries start off with a capital 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 or a computer spreadsheet…Assume the production function takes the general form: Y=Z*F (K,L,A)where all marginal products are positive.Which 3 of the following statements are correct?a. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth of output per person.b. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth, and so Malthus was correct that populationgrowth will always reverse the impact of technological improvements.c. Both rises in z and rises in K/L (capital intensity) will boost output per worker.d. Growth in output per worker can occur due to rises in z (technology) or rises in K/L (capital intensity), orboth.
- Suppose you are given the aggregate production function for an economy and the amount of available technology increases for this economy. If labor and capital constant are held constant, increase in technology will causes labor productivity to decrease. True FalseA CES production function with physical and human capital Consider the CES production function in terms of physical capital, K, and human capital, H: where 0 a. Set up the Hamiltonian and find the first-order conditions. b. What is the optimal relation between K and H? Substitute this relation into the given production function to get a relation between Y and K. What does this “reduced-form” production function look like? c. What is the steady-state value of the ratio of physical to human capital, (K/H)∗? d. Describe the behavior of the economy over time if the initial condition is such that K(0)/H(0)? e. Suppose that the inequality restrictions IK ≥ 0 and IH ≥ 0 apply. How do these constraints affect the dynamics if the economy begins with K(0)/H(0)∗?In class we argued that if people could accumulate human as well as physical capital, the production function would look like the “AK” production function. • (a) If the production function is AK and the savings rate is constant at rate “s”, and the rates of depreciation and populati on growth are δ and n respectively, what would the growth rate of the economy be? • (b) What would be the macroeconomic consequences of decreasing the savings rate in this economy? • (c) What would be the consequences of an increase in fertility in this economy? • (d) Would the consequences of decreasing fertility be UNAMBIGUOUSLY GOOD? • (e) Can human capital grow without bounds? Explain why or why not (make sure you discuss the physical nature of human capital). • (f) What is the growth rate of the economy (in the absence of technological progress) if human capital cannot grow without bounds?
- Consider an economy’s production function is Y=K^1/3 N^2/3 and that both the saving rate and the depreciation rate are equal to 0.15. A. What is the steady-state level of capital per worker? B. What is the steady-state level of output per worker? Now suppose that the economy has reached its steady-state in period t, and then, in period t+1, the saving rate doubles to 0.30. The depreciation rate remains constant at 0.15. C. Solve for the new steady-state levels of capital per worker and output per worker. D. Calculate the path of capital per worker and output per worker over the first three periods after the change in the saving rate.Suppose that production in an economy is represented by the production function Y = K1/4. If the investment rate is equal to 0.25 and the depreciation rate is equal to 0.10, calculate the steady-state levels of capital and output.Consider an AK model of endogenous growth. If the aggregate production function is given by Y=1.5K and the depreciation rate is 17.5%: What is the minimum savings rate such that this economy will experience growth in the long run?
- In an economy characterized by a Cobb-Douglas production function (without technical progress), labour’s share of income is 70% and the depreciation rate is 3% per annum. The economy is in a steady state with GDP growth at 4% per year and with a capital output ratio of 2. Find the saving rate and the marginal product of capital. At time t the saving rate in this economy increases to a new constant level, with the outcome that the economy converges to the Golden Rule steady state. What is the new savings rate, capital output ratio and marginal product of capital?c. You are given the following information about an economy. Y = C + I Y = F(K, L) The aggregate production function for this economy exhibits constant returns to scale and the marginal products of labor and capital are both subject to diminishing returns. s = saving rate (assume this is constant) per year δ= depreciation rate (assume this is a constant) per year y = Y/L k = K/L k* = steady state of capital per worker (K/L) and sf(k) < δk. i. What is sf(k) ii. What is δk? iii. Interpret the meaning of sf(k) < δk?Suppose a country has a population of 120 people, a working-age population of 100 people, its labor force participation rate is 0.5 (50%), and the quantity of output is 60 units. Suppose that the production function of the economy is given by Y=2N, where Y represents the quantity of output and N represents the number of workers needed to produce the output. I know the answer is 0.4 but I don't understand how to get it. Thank you!
