Consider a numerical example using the Solow Growth Model. Suppose that F(K,N)=K^0.5N^0.5, with d = 0.1, s = 0.2, n = 0.02, and z = 1, and take a period to be a year. Determine capital per worker, income per capita, and consumption per capita in the steady state. The steady state per work (0.2)(1)k*)^0.5 = (0.02+0.1)k*

Analyse graphically how the Solow model growth implies that poor countries should experience a higher growth rate and therefore converge with rich ones, and how this result is negated if the said countries do not share the same steady state.
In the Solow growth model with no population growth and no technological change, the output per worker increases when investment per worker is greater than depreciation of capital per worker. True False

Income per person exceeds $ 25,000 in many countries but it is below $ 1,000 per person in many other countries. Based on the Solow growth model, suggest at least four possible explanations for this gap in living standards.
According to the Solow Growth Model, each of the following leads to higher level of output and capital in the long run: an increase in the saving rate, an increase in the depreciation rate, and an in increase productivity. A.) True B.) False
Consider the Solow growth model in which population evolves according to: N′ = (1 + n)N where N is the population (labor force) in the current period, N′ is the population (labor force) in the future period, and n is the population growth rate. There are public health expenditures that takes the form of government spending, G = gN, where G is the current period government spending on health care, g is the per-capita health spending in the current period. The production technology is given by Y = zKαN1−α where Y is the output of the consumption good, z is the total factor productivity, K is the current period capital stock, aN is the labour input, and 0 < α < 1 is a parameter. Consumers save a constant fraction, s, of their disposable income, where 0 < s < 1. (a) Suppose that the economic is hit by a pandemic (e.g. Covid-19). The government responds to the pandemic by raising the public health spending per person (e.g spending on vaccination) temporarily (i.e. one-period…

In the Solow growth model, suppose that the per-worker production function is given by y=zk2/3 . The saving rate is s, depreciation rate is d, and population growth rate is n. Calculate the per capita capital (k) and output per worker (y) in the steady state.
In a Solow growth model with population growth but no technological change, show graphically that an increase in the rate of depreciation will reduce the steady-state value of capital per worker and output per worker. It is reasonable to expect that depreciation rates differ across countries? Why or why not? Please be specific.
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 D. A one time permanent improvement in technology increases the amount of output that can be produced from any given amount of capital and labor. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.
