What determines whether a curve shifts in the Solow diagram? Make a listof the parameters of the Solow model, and state whether a change in eachparameter shifts a curve (which one?) or is simply a movement along bothcurves.
Which of the graphs (if any) show a surprising or seemingly incorrect relationship based on what you know about conditional convergence and the Solow model?
Discuss the concepts represented by each of the following models How are they related?

The Grossman model uses the economic concept of a production function. Before you dive deeply into the Grossman model though, I want you to think more generally about the concept of a production function as it relates to health status. A production function describes the relationship between inputs and outputs for a production process. For a business, the inputs are labor, capital, raw materials, etc. and the output is the finished product. The production function is often describe mathematically using an equation like the one below: Y = K¹/3L2/3 Where Y is the amount of output from using K units of capital and L units of labor. a. Now consider a production function for something very different: in the United States. That is, consider a average life expectancy production function where Y = life expectancy measured in years. What do you think are the primary inputs? That is, what are the variables on the right-hand side of the equation? Hint: think broad categories...and there are…arrow_forward

Use graphical analyses as an aid in your explanation. Make sure to conclude your explanations with the differences in income per capita, if any, that are predicted by the two models for this scenario.arrow_forward1) Why does the gravity model work? A) Large economices became large because they were engaged in international trade. B) Large economies have relatively large incomes, and hence spend more on government promotion of trade and investment. C) Large economies have relatively larger areas, which raises the probability that a productive activity will take place within the borders of that country. D) Large economies tend to have large incomes and tend to spend more on imports. E) Large economies tend to avoid trading with small economies. 2) Which of the following does NOT explain the extent of trade between Ireland and the U.S.?
