- Consider two economies (indexed by i = 1, 2) described by Yi(t ) = Ki(t )θ and Ki(t ) = siYi(t ), where θ > 1. Suppose that the two economies have the same initial value of K, but that s1 > s2. Show that Y1/Y2 is continually rising.Consider an competitive economy with interest rate r =MPK=0.05,capital depreciation rate o = 0.03, technology growth rate g = 0.03, and populationgrowth rate n = 0.02(1) Why should we be interested in the Golden Rule steady state of an economy? (2) Is the economy depicted above running on its Golden Rule steady state? If yes,explain how you get your answer. If no, what should the government do to achievethe Golden rule steady state?(3) It is said that the Golden Rule steady state gives the greatest growth rate of consumption per capita. True or False? Explain your answer.(4) It is said that population is usually a burden to economic growth. So if we canreduce the population growth rate from n = 0.02 to n = 0.01, everyone will be betteroff, in the sense of enjoying greater growth rate of consumption in the new GoldenRule steady state. True or False? Explain your answer.Suppose that the economy is summarized by the following: Technology (Production Function): Yt = 10 (Kt)0.3 (Lte)0.7 Consumption function: Ct = 0.8Yt Depreciation rate: 8% (i.e. δ= 0.08) Population growth: 2% (i.e. n = 0.02) Technological growth: 4% (i.e. g = 0.04) 1. Assuming that in 2013 the US economy is in the steady state and L2013 = Le2013 = 8, what is the value of ke2014, ye2014, ce2014 , k2014, y2014, and c2014 ?
- (a) Consider an economy that is initially in a steady state equilibrium. Assume that in this equilibrium it has a saving rate of 50 per cent and a depreciation rate of 2 per cent. Further assume that the population growth rate is 3% and that the level of output produced can be represented by the following production function: = where A = 1 and = 0.5. Use the Solow-Swan model to determine the level of capital per worker and output per worker in this economy. (1 mark) (b) Now suppose the government introduces a set of policies to improve the institutional set up as well as better production technique which increases total factor productivity by double. What is the new steady state level of capital per worker and output per worker? (1 mark) (c) Use a Solow-Swan diagram to show the qualitative effects of this new government policy upon steady state output per worker and capital per worker. Briefly describe the intuition behind this result. (1 mark) (d) Now suppose, population growth rate…Please answer all sub-parts questions. Consider an open economy with following economic numbers in 2024 • Autonomous consumption = 1 • MPC = 0.6 • Planned investment = 2 • Government expenditures = 4 • Net Exports = -3 • Unemployment rate = 8% a. Suppose that Y = 10 in 2024 with the unemployment rate at 8%, much higher than policymakers, and most voters, think is appropriate. If no government action is taken, will market forces lift the economy, and lower the unemployment rate? If so, how. If not, why not? b. Suppose with Y = 15, the jobless rate falls to a much more desirable 4%. Propose a policy for 2025 that will engender a new equilibrium with the unemployment rate at 4%. c. To successfully get Y to 15, from 10, you recommended a change in one of the variables in the AE equation. What was the size of the change you suggested for that variable? Was that the same size as the change in Y? If not, explain the mechanism and show the arithmetic that predicted this different sized change…3. Suppose that we have a Solow model with one twist. The twist is that thereis a government. Each period, the government consumes a fraction of output,sG. Hence, the aggregate resource constraint is:Yt = Ct + It + Gt.Where Gt = sGYt. Define private output as Ypt = Yt − Gt. Suppose thatinvestment is a constant fraction, s, of private output (consumption is then1 − s times private output). Otherwise the model is the same as in the text.104(a) Re-derive the central equation of the Solow model under this setup.(b) Suppose that the economy initially sits in a steady state. Suppose thatthere is an increase in sG that is expected to last forever. Graphicallyanalyze how this will affect the steady state value of the capital stockper worker. Plot out a graph showing how the capital stock per workerwill be affected in a dynamic sense
- Question 3Consider an economy described by the production function:Y = F(K, L) = K0.3 L0.7 a. What is the per-worker production function?b. Assuming no population growth or technological progress, find the steady-state capital stock per worker, output per worker, and consumption per worker as a function of the saving rate and the depreciation rate.c. Assume that the depreciation rate is 10 percent per year. Make a table showing steadystate capital per worker, output per worker, and consumption per worker for saving ratesof 0 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent, and so on. (You will need a calculator with an exponent key for this.) What saving rate maximizes output per worker? What saving rate maximizes consumption per worker?No plagrisum and correct answer please.

- Exercise 4: Growth and capital over-accumulationSuppose two countries, A and B, with the same production function Y = KαL1−α. Thevalue of α is 0.30, the growth rate of population is 2% and the depreciation rate is 5%.a) Show that with price-taking firms the share of labor must be 1 − α.b) Compute the stock of capital, output and consumption per unit of labor in the steadystate if the savings rates were 25% for country A and 35% for country B.c) Compare both economies to the Golden Rule.d) Explain what would happen to both countries if suddenly their savings rate becamethe Golden Rule savings rate.Consider Romer Model 2.
