7. Assume that the rate of growth of population equals 0. Suppose that there is a sudden increase in the rate at which capital depreciates. The production function remains unchanged.
a. On a graph, illustrate the effects of this change on the steady-state level of capital per worker if the saving rate remains unchanged.
b. Describe the effect of this change on the Golden Rule level of capital per worker, and explain your answer

In the Solow growth model without population growth, if an economy has a steady-state value of the marginal product of capital (MPK) of 0.125, a depreciation rate of 0.1, and a saving rate of 0.225, then the steady-state capital stock per worker: Select one: a. is less than the Golden Rule level. O b. is greater than the Golden Rule level. c. could be either above or below the Golden Rule level. d. equals the Golden Rule level.

3) Consider the Solow model with population growth and labor-augmenting technological progress. Suppose that the aggregate production function is Cobb- Douglas, i.e. Y = AK"(E · L)1-a, where A is a constant, while E denotes technological progress and grows at rate g. Labor grows at an exogenous rate n, and capital depreciates at rate d. As usual, people consume a fraction (1 – s) of their income. a. Use a graph similar to what we have seen in class to...

An economy with a population growth rate at 2 percent and a rate of technological growrh at 3 percent is in steady state. If the capital-output ratio is 2, depreciation amounts to 10 percent of GDP, and capital income is 20 percent of GDP, then this economy would need to ......... the Golden Rule steady state. (Please, is it to decrease or increase saving rate, s, or do nothing. OR do I decrease the steady state stock of capital per...
