Sweden and Norway are two neighboring countries in Northern Europe with similar savings rates, population growth rates, technology growth rates, and depreciation rates. However, Norway differs from Sweden in that Norway has large deposits of oil all along its coast, which makes it very easy for Norway to produce large quantities of crude oil every year with relatively little capital and labor. a) Draw a Solow Growth diagram that compares Sweden and Norway. What is the main difference between the two countries in the diagram? b) According to the Solow Growth Model, which country would have a higher standard of living in the long run? Which country would have a higher growth rate of its standard of living in the long run? c) Suppose now that, in the long run, oil becomes obsolete and has no value because it is uneconomical relative to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. What would this do to your Solow Growth diagram in part a? How would the standard of living in Norway…

1. Over the period from B.C. 10,000 to A.D. 1, the world population is estimated to have increased from 4 million to 170 million, while the level of income per capita was constant over time. Assuming that the quantities of human and physical capital per worker did not change, and that the exponent on land in the production function is one-third, calculate the growth rate in productivity over this period. What was the annual growth rate of productivity, A?
