Suppose that the production function is Y=K^((1)/(3))(EL)^((2)/(3)) where E is the efficiency of labor. (a) Derive the per-efficiency-unit-of-labor production function. (i.e., y=f(k)= Y//EL) (b) Solve for the steady state value of y as a function of s,n,g, and d (c) A developed country has a savings rate of 28% and a population growth rate of 1% per year. A less-developed country has a saving rate of 10% and a population growth of 4% per year. In both countries, g=0.02 and d=0.04. Find the steady state value
In the steady state, _____ consumption per worker is maximized. investment per worker exceeds depreciation per worker. the growth rate of output per worker equals zero. capital per worker grows.
Suppose some of the country's capital is suddenly destroyed. If the depreciation rate, savings rate, and production function remain unchanged, then the real growth rate will _____ in the short run and the steady-state level of capital will _____ A.increase, decrease B.decrease, decrease C.increase, stay the same D. decrease, stay the same
Suppose output per worker in a country has grown at the same rate as technology over many years. This country's growth would be described as/by: A. ‘Appropriable’ growth. B. ‘Balanced’ growth. C. ‘Effective’ growth. D. ‘Diffuse’ growth. E. None of the above statements.
an economy is given by y=k^( 1/3). The depreciation rate is 16%, the saving rate is 26%, the growth rate of the labor force is 4%, and the growth rate of labor-augmenting technological change is 4%. Given these features, this economy's steady-state level of capital per effective worker is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Consider an economy described by the production function: Y = F(K, L) = K^0,3L^0,7 A. What is the per-worker production function? B. Assuming no population growth or technological progress, find the steady-state capital stock per worker, output per worker, and consumption per worker as a function of the saving rate and the depreciation rate.
Many countries, including Pakistan, import substantial amounts of goods and services from other countries. However, economists claim that a country can enjoy a high standard of living only if it can produce a large quantity of goods and services itself. Can you reconcile these two facts? (Maximum 100 words). Given the production function Y= AF (L, K, H, N), explain the determinants of productivity. ( Maximum100 words). Population growth has a variety of effects on productivity. Explain this statement and justify your answer. (Maximum 200 words).
An economy has the per-worker production function yt=f(kt)=4kt)0.4, where yt is the output per worker and kt is the capital-labor ratio. The depreciation rate is 0.15, and the population growth rate is 0.04. Saving is St=0.5Yt, where St is total national saving and Yt is total output. The slope of the per worker production function is given by f' (kt)=1.6kt-0.6 . What is the steady state value of capital-labor ratio, k*? Round your answer to at least 2 decimal places.
Based on article "Technology and economic growth: From Robert Solow to Paul Romer" by Rui Zhao, Solow mentioned, technology (At) and capital per unit of effective labor (Kt) have a significant influence on a country's ability to “catch-up” or “converge” to a steady-state level (K*). In brief define what it means by a steady-state level.
Two countries B and C have a production function Y= AK^1/3 L^2/3 The population growth rate is 0.1, physical capital depreciates at the rate of 0.1, and A = 1. In country B the saving rate is sB=0.2 and in country C the saving rate is sC=0.4. Write the production function in terms of output per capita (Y/N) and find the steady-state values of the capital-labour ratio (K/N) in both countries.
The Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (AsgiSA) was launched by Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka in February 2006. After research and discussion with stakeholders, government identified six “binding constraints on growth” that needed to be addressed so as to progress in its desire for shared growth and to achieve its target of halving unemployment and poverty between 2004 and 2014. This could be achieved if the economy grew at an average rate of at least 4.5% in the period to 2009, and by an average of 6% in the period 2010 to 2014.These binding constraints were: deficiencies in government’s capacity the volatility of the currency low levels of investment infrastructure and infrastructure services shortages of suitably skilled graduates, technicians and artisans insufficiently competitive industrial and services sectors and weak sector strategies inequality and marginalisation, resulting in many economically marginalised people being unable to…
