- Would the following events usually lead to capital deepening? Why or why not? A weak economy in which businesses become reluctant to make long-term investments in physical capital. A rise in international trade. A trend in which many more adults participate in continuing education courses through their employers and at colleges and universities.Say that the average worker in the U.S. economy is eight times as productive as an average worker in Mexico. If the productivity of U.S. workers grows at 2 for 25 years and the productivity of Mexicos workers grows at 6 for 25 years, which country will have higher worker productivity at that point?How is the concept of technology, as defined with the aggregate production function, different from our everyday use of the word?
- Country Has Cobb-Douglas production function: Y(it) = A(it) x K(it)1/3L(it)2/3 Where: Y(it) = realGDP K(it) = Capital L(it) = No. workers employed in country (i) on date (t) Suppose multiple countries share the same alpha = 1/3 but different levels of totalfactorproductivity (A(it)). Now Instead of the above function the production function changes to: Y(it) = A(it) x K(it)1/3 x (H(it)L(it))2/3 Y(it) = realGDP K(it) = Capital H(it) = Average hours worked p/worker (This is so the labour input is total hours opposed to employment) L(it) = No. workers employed in country (i) on date (t) These multiple countries share the same alpha = 1/3 but different levels of totalfactorproductivity (A(it)). How does this new variable in the formula impact TFP growth? What happens if the country has higher average hours per worker? what happens if the country has lower average hours per worker?1. Country A and B both have the production functionY = F (K, L) = K ½L ½or Y = K0.5 L0.5 a) What is the per-worker production function, y= f (k)? Please make sure to write specificfunctional form of the per-worker production function. b) Assume that neither country experiences population growth nor technological progressand that 4 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 24percent of output each year and country B saves 16 percent of output each year. Using youranswer from part a) and the steady-state condition, find the steady-state level of capital perworker for each country. Then find the steady-state levels of income per worker for eachcountry and steady-state level of consumption per worker for each country.Please no written by hand and graph Consider a small world that consists of two different countries, a developed and a developing country. In both countries, assume that the production function takes the following form: Y = F (K, LE) = K¹/4 (LE) 3/4, where Y is output, K is capital stock, L is total employment and E is labour augmenting technology. (a) Does this production function exhibit constant returns to scale in K and L? Explain. (b) Express the above production function in its intensive form (i.e., output per-effective worker y as a function of capital per effective worker k). (c) Solve for the steady-state value of y as a function of saving rate s, population growth rate n, technological progress g, and capital depreciation rate 6. (d) The developed country has a savings rate of 30% and a population growth rate of 2% per year. Meanwhile, the developing country has a savings rate of 15% and population growth rate of 5% a year. Technology evolves at the rate of 8% and 2% in…
- please answer the following, I have attached an image of the question for better format. Thanks! 2. Suppose that the production function of a country is given by Y=K3L0.7, where Y is output, L is labour, and K is capital. a)What is the return to scale property of the production function? B)What will happen to output if we double the use of capital and labour? C)Write the production function as a relationship between output per worker and capital per worker.Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K^0,5L^0,5 A. Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. B. What is the per-worker production function, y = f(k)? C. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 5 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 20 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part (b) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country. Theen find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. D. 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 a computer spreadsheet…Assume that Economyland’s production function is Y = F (K, L) = K 0.5 L 0.5Where Y is output level, K is the amount of capital input, and L is the amount of laborinput. a) What is the per-worker production function, y= f (k) for Economyland? b) Assume that 10 percent of capital depreciates each year and savings rate is 20 percent,find the steady-state level of capital per worker for Economyland. Then find the steady-state levelof income per worker and steady-state level of consumption per worker. c) Is it possible to save too much? Why?
- Country Has Cobb-Douglas production function: Y(it) = A(it) x K(it)1/3L(it)2/3 Where: Y(it) = realGDP K(it) = Capital L(it) = No. workers employed in country (i) on date (t) Suppose multiple countries share the same alpha = 1/3 but different levels of totalfactorproductivity (A(it)). How would one calculate the average annual growth rate of totalfactorprodctivity of each countryGalaxy, a multinational corporation, has two plants, one in the United States and the other inMexico, and it cannot change the size of the plants or the amount of capital equipment in theshort run. The wage in Mexico is equivalent to US $5 per hour. The wage in the U.S. is $25 perhour. Given current employment situation, the productivity per worker in Mexico is 200 units perhour, and the productivity per worker in the U.S. is 400 units per hour.Is Galaxy maximizing output relative to its labor cost? If not, what should Galaxy doMa1. two countries have the same effectiveness of labor production function Y = F (K,LE) = K^0.5 (LE)^0.5 a. what is the per effective worker production function for these countries? b . what is the steady state value of y as a function of s, n, g, and δ only? c. countries A and b are identical in every way except rate of savings. countries A has a savings rate of 17 percent and country B has a savings rate of 10 percent. for both countries the rate of technical progress is g = 0.04 the birth rate is n = 0.05 and depreciation δ = 0.04. find the steady state value of y for each country. compare and comment
