Consider the neoclassical growth model. Suppose in the current period a country's saving per worker is $600, population growth is 2%, capital depreciation rate is 10%, and capital per worker is $5,000. If productivity remains unchanged, then we can predict that in the next period, capital per worker will remain unchanged. capital per worker will be higher. capital per worker will be lower

Suppose that output is given by the neoclassical production function Y (t) = F (K(t), L(t), A(t)) satisfying Assumptions 1 and 2, and that we observe output, capital, and labor at two dates t and t + T . Suppose that we estimate TFP growth between these two dates using the equation Where g(t, t + T ) denotes output growth between dates t and t + T , and other growth terms are defined similarly, while αK(t) and αL(t) denote the factor shares at the beginning date. Let x(t, t + T ) be the true TFP growth between these two dates. Show that there exist functions F such that x(t, t ˆ + T )/x(t, t + T ) can be arbitrarily large or small. Next show the same result when the TFP estimate is constructed using the end-date factor shares: Explain the importance of differences in factor proportions (capital-labor ratio) between the beginning and end dates in these results.
