Q) consider the harrod-domar model in which depreciation and the population growth rate are 2% and 3% respectively. what fraction of income must be saved in order for income to double in 10 years if c=3 Solve it now
A country produces output using a production function: Y = F(K, L) = AxK0.5 L0.5 where L is labour, K is capital and A is total factor productivity. Prove that this function exhibits constant returns to scale. Assume that A = 3 and its growth rate is zero. The country has a population growth of 1.5% per year (0.015) and capital depreciates at a rate of 10% (0.10) per year. If the country saves 30% (0.3) of national income, find the steady state levels of capital per worker, as well as consumption and income per worker in the Solow growth model corresponding to this country. What would be the rate of growth of GDP per capita in steady state? Calculate the “Golden Rule” level of capital stock in steady state. Is this economy dynamically efficient?

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 ?
Suppose that the populist leader of our imaginary country increases the savings rate from 13% to 15%, i.e., (s = 0.15), what is the new steady state level of capital per worker? [Note: Assume that the other parameters n and d remain unchanged.]
Suppose a Solow economy is initially at its steady state k∗, and suddenly is hit by a decrease in the depreciation rate δ, from δ to δ1. This change does not alter any of the other exogenous parameters in the model Depict this situation in a graph What happens to steady state level of capital per capita in this situation? What happens to the level of capital per capita over time? Depict this in a graph and explain intuitively.

Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K1/3L2/3 Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. Find Solow’s production function, y = f (k)? Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 20 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 30 percent of output each year. Find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country, then find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. 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, better yet, a computer spreadsheet) to show how the capital stock per worker will evolve over time in both countries.

Country A and country B both have the production function Y= F(K,L)= K 1/2 L 1/2 Assume that neither country experiences population growth nor technological progress and that 5% of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10% of output each year and country B saves 20% of output each year. Using your answer from part (a) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country. Then find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. (b) Suppose that both countries start off with a capital per 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 to show how the capital stock per worker will evolve over time in both countries. For each year, calculate income per worker and…
Suppose that the production function is Y= 10(K)1/4 (L)3/4 and capital lasts for an average of 50 years so that 2% of capital wears out every year. Assume that the rate of growth of population equals 0. If the saving rate, s =0.128, calculate the steady-state level of capital per worker, output per worker, consumption per worker, saving and investment per worker and depreciation per worker.
