Suppose that the production function is Cobb-Douglas. The exponent on capital is 0.1 and the exponent on labor is 0.9. The data for this economy is A=10, K0-300 and the initial population is LO-30. We will assume that everyone in this country works so that population equals employment and per-person GDP equals per-worker GDP. Now suppose that the country receives foreign aid that is used to invest in infrastructure and electric vehicles. As a result, over the next few years, the economyos capital stock doubles to K1=600. Fortunately, no one is killed during the hurricane. In the initial final equilibrium, per-worker GDP will be..." Between 12.3% and 14.4% higher than in the initial equilibrium.
