"Consider the simple production model studied in class, but with different exponents. 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, KO=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 Capital market the Demand will and the Supply will

If a nation with an aging population admits more low-skilled immigrants:
wealth disparity decreases.
O income disparity increases.
job creation is reduced.
O income mobility is reduced.
Explain why U.S. potential GDP per worker per week is greater than that in Europe.
What could induce Europeans to work the same hours as Americans and would that close the gap between potential GDP per worker in the two economies?
U.S. potential GDP per worker per week is greater than that in Europe because
O A. U.S. workers work fewer hours on average but they are more productive than Europeans
O B. U.S. workers are more productive per hour of work and they work longer hours than Europeans
C. the supply of labor in America is smaller than the supply of labor in Europe
O D. the United States uses less capital but they use it more effectively

- 3. Suppose that there are two countries with dif- ferent levels of total factor productivity, and that these differences exist because of barriers to technology adoption in the low-productivity country.
