Assuming that the sum of population growth and the depreciation rate is equal tothe saving rate. In this case, are there any steady states? If yes, describe the steady-statelevels of capital per person. If no, explain why not.
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.
Population Growth Population growth in the US has, for a very long time been about 1% per year.Take the production function to be y = k0.5, where y and k are output andcapital per capita. The depreciation rate is about 10% per year and the savingsrate is about 20%. 1. What is the steady state capital per capita rate?2. From one period to the next, at what rate does total capital (not percapita) grow.3. If the population growth rate grew to 1.5%, how much would steady statecapital per capita change? Then how much is total capital changing atthis steady state?
Given a saving rate of 5%, a depreciation rate of 1%, and a production function in which y = k0.5where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker, calculate the steady state values forii. output per worker, iii. consumption per worker, iv.

Consider a steady-state equilibrium in the model of Section 14.4. Suppose that κ = 0 and G’ (0) ∗ ≡ G’−1 ((1− λ)/ρ), and suppose also that (a) Show that in this case the steady-state equilibrium has zero growth. (b) Show that κ > 0 leads to a positive growth rate. Interpret this result, and contrast it to the negative effects of relaxing the protection of IPR in the baseline model of Schumpeterian growth.

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?

Consider an economy that has access to a production technology Y = AKαL1−α where Y is output, A is the level of technology, K is capital and L is the amount of labor in the economy. Capital evolves according to K˙ = sY (thus, the depreciation rate δ = 0). The x˙ population growth rate is n. (Throughout, gx = x , where x can be any of the variables in the model.) (a) Assume that technology is determined by A = BKφ What sort of endogenous growth model is this? Find K/K in terms of the K, L, and other parameters of the model.
