- In Wonderland production per worker (y) depends on capital per worker() such the y=10vk. Every year 15% of the capital stock depreciates, while workers in Wonderland save 10% of their income. Every year the population grows ratas te of 3% (c) The country of Neverland is identical to Wonderland in terms of output per worker, the savings rate, the depreciation rate and population growth. They differ in one respect: Wonderland has capital per worker of 10, whereas Neverland has capital per worker of 20. Which country experiences a higher growth rate of output per worker and how will their growth rates evolve over time?Why Capital does not Flow from Rich to Emerging Countries? We assume that the production function in country i is 1 1 2 Yi = A ² k², (1) where y, and ki are output and capital per capita, respectively, in country i, and A is a measure of technology in country i. (a) Calculate the marginal product of capital (MPK) denoted by Ri in country i. (b) Express the MPK in terms of output per capita, yi, i.e., eliminate ki from Ri by using the production function (1). (c) We consider two countries, indexed by i 1 and i 2, whose production function is described by (1). Both are assumed to have the same level of productivity, i.e., A₁ A2. We assume y2 50y₁. Calculate the ratio R₁/R₂. (d) We keep assuming that y2 50y1, but now we assume that A2 educational attainment is higher in country 2. Calculate the ratio R₁/R₂ under 10A₁ because these assumptions. FX = - (e) We keep assuming y2 50y₁ but now we consider that technology in country 1 is a function of technology of the more advanced country 2,…Suppose the per-worker production function is: y = A(1-ga) Where ga is the fraction of all workers that produce technologies. Further, suppose the growth of technology is given by the following equation growth of A = (ga/m)(L) Suppose L = 1 and m = 7, and that initially ga = 0.7. If g, fell to 0.8 the level of output per worker would: Impossible to say fall stay the same O rise
- Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K^0,5L^0,5 A. Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. B. What is the per-worker production function, y = f(k)? C. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 5 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 20 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part (b) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country. Theen find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. D. Suppose that both countries start off with a capital stock per worker of 2. What are the levels of income per worker and consumption per worker? Remembering that the change in the capital stock is investment less depreciation, use a calculator or a computer spreadsheet…Many countries, including Pakistan, import substantial amounts of goods and services from other countries. However, economists claim that a country can enjoy a high standard of living only if it can produce a large quantity of goods and services itself. Can you reconcile these two facts? (Maximum 100 words). Given the production function Y= AF (L, K, H, N), explain the determinants of productivity. ( Maximum100 words). Population growth has a variety of effects on productivity. Explain this statement and justify your answer. (Maximum 200 words).Consider an economy with a Cobb-Douglas production function with α = 1/3 that begins in steady state with a growth rate of technological progress of g of 2 percent. Consider what happens when g increases to 3 percent. (a) What is the growth rate of output per worker before the change? What happens to this growth rate in the long run? (b) Perform a growth accounting exercise for the economy, decomposing the growth rate in output per capita into components contributed by capital per capita growth and technology growth. What is the contribution of the change in g to output per capita growth according to this formula? (c) In what sense is the growth accounting result in part b producing a misleading picture of this experiment? Explain why this is the case.
- 1. O LounchPad • Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K/³L²/3. a. Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. b. What is the per-worker production function, y = f(k)? c. Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 20 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 30 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part (b) and the steady-state condition that investment equals depreciation, find the steady-state level of capital per work- er for each country. Then find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. d. Suppose that both countries start off with a capital stock per worker of 1. What are the levels of income per worker and consumption per worker?Assume the production function takes the general form: Y=Z*F (K,L,A)where all marginal products are positive.Which 3 of the following statements are correct?a. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth of output per person.b. If A is fixed, then population growth acts as a drag on growth, and so Malthus was correct that populationgrowth will always reverse the impact of technological improvements.c. Both rises in z and rises in K/L (capital intensity) will boost output per worker.d. Growth in output per worker can occur due to rises in z (technology) or rises in K/L (capital intensity), orboth.Problem 3: Write each production function given below in terms of output per person y = Y/L and capital per person k = K/L. Plot these per person versions in a graph with y on the vertical axis and k on the horizontal axis. (You can assume à is a constant positive number). (a) Y=AK 1/3 L2/3 and Y = AK3/4L1/4 (plot them on the same graph). (b) Y = K. (c) Y = KL (d) YK-AL
- Suppose that the production function is Y= 10(K)1/4 (L)3/4 and capital lasts for an average of 50 years so that 2% of capital wears out every year. Assume that the rate of growth of population equals 0. If the saving rate, s =0.128, calculate the steady-state level of capital per worker, output per worker, consumption per worker, saving and investment per worker and depreciation per worker.The graph below represents per-worker production functions for the same country. Answer the following questions using this graph. Which 1 concept explains that the area between B and C has a flatter slope than the area between A and B? Answer: Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns What has to happen for a country to move from point E to B to D? Answer: The movement through which 3 points (out of 5 given) would indicate the largest increase in productivity? Answer:Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K1/3L2/3 Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. Find Solow’s production function, y = f (k)? Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 20 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 10 percent of output each year and country B saves 30 percent of output each year. Find the steady-state level of capital per worker for each country, then find the steady-state levels of income per worker and consumption per worker. Suppose that both countries start off with a capital stock per worker of 2. What are the levels of income per worker and consumption per worker? Remembering that the change in the capital stock is investment less depreciation, use a calculator (or, better yet, a computer spreadsheet) to show how the capital stock per worker will evolve over time in both countries.
