- In class we argued that if people could accumulate human as well as physical capital, the production function would look like the “AK” production function. • (a) If the production function is AK and the savings rate is constant at rate “s”, and the rates of depreciation and populati on growth are δ and n respectively, what would the growth rate of the economy be? • (b) What would be the macroeconomic consequences of decreasing the savings rate in this economy? • (c) What would be the consequences of an increase in fertility in this economy? • (d) Would the consequences of decreasing fertility be UNAMBIGUOUSLY GOOD? • (e) Can human capital grow without bounds?
