  • 2. An economy has a production function:Yt = 3(squaredKt)(squaredLt). The economy has a saving rate of 24 percent, a depreciation rate of 3 percent,and Lt = 1 for all period (no population growth). There is no technologicalprogress. (a) What is the per-worker production function, yt = f(kt)? Define yt =YtLtand kt =KtLt.(b) Find the equation for the evolution of capital per worker in terms of ktand kt+1. (c) Find the long-run growth rate of output per worker.     Now the economy has the following production function:Yt = 3Kt but savings rate, depreciation rate, and population remain the same. (d) What is the per-worker production function, yt = f(kt)? Define yt =Yt/Lt (e) Find the equation for the evolution of capital per worker in terms of ktand kt+1. (f) Find the long-run growth rate of output per worker. (g) Explain why the economy with production function (2) explain persistent growth without the assumption of exogenous technologicalprogress. How does this differ from the economy…
    (Long Run) The country of Prosperous has: Production function: Y = 2K1/2 (AN)1/2 ; where Y=output;K=capital; A=technology; and N=labor Saving rate (s): 20% per year Depreciation rate (d): 10% per year Labor growth rate (n): 2% per year Rate of technological change (g): 8% per year c. Calculate the growth rate of the following variables when the economy achieves its steady-state: Output per effective worker (Y/AN) Output per worker (Y/N) Output (Y)
    Parameters     Equations     s =0,20  marginal propensity to save    Y=WKr.L1-r   Production Function  u=0,02  Population growth rate    K.=s.f(k)−aK     Capital Accumulation     b=0,04  Technological growth rate      L./L=  ?     Population Growth            a=0,05  Depreciation rate     W./W=b   Technological Progress          S=s.f(k)   Savings     a.  Find steady-state level of capital per effective labor: k*     b.  Draw a graph and show output function, actual investment and breakeven investment lines.     c.  Assume that in this economy, people start spending more and therefore marginal propensity to save decline permanently. What will happen to variables in the model (steady-state level capital per effective labor; output growth etc.).     d.  Instead of reduction in saving assume this time that we face lower fertility rate in the country. What will happen to variables in…
