Problem 5
Consider the Solow growth model with population growth rate n and rate of technological progress g.
(a)
Assuming that everyone in the population is working, what does the Solow growth model tell us about long-run growth rate of output per worker in the economy? (i.e. standards of living)
(b)
Assuming we have reached the balanced-growth path (steady-state), what does the Solow Growth model tell us about what the economy can do to 1.) Grow at a faster rate and 2.) Reach a higher steady-state level of output per worker?
Problem 6
Suppose that two countries both share a common technology and that both countries have the same savings rate s, technology growth rate g and population growth rate n. Suppose further that one economy (US) is in steady state, whereas the other (Mexico) has a per capita output level that is one fourth the US level.
The production function of both economies is give by F(Kt,AtLt) = (Kt)0.3(AtLt)0.7 The depreciation rate: ? = 0.06 The population growth rate: n = 0 The technological growth rate: g = 0.02 The savings rate: s = 0.2
Under the additional assumptions listed below, how many model periods will it take Mexico to have a per capita output level that is one half the US level?
