1. (The AK Model) Consider an economy with an aggregate production function given by y = F(K) = AK Capital is the only relevant factor of production. A is fixed and represents the productivity of capital. The law of motion for capital is just as in the neoclassical model where s and δ are the savings rate and depreciation rate, respectively. a) Show whether F(K) exhibits constant, decreasing or increasing returns to scale. Com- pute the marginal product of capital....

1) Assume that a country's production function is Y = AK 0.3 L 0.7 (and MPK = 0.3 Y/K ) The ratio of capital to output is 3, the growth rate of output is 3 percent, and the depreciation rate is 4 percent. Assume the economy is in a steady state. a.Write down the steady state condition and calculate the saving rate for this steady state. b.Write down the Golden Rule for this economy. Is this economy in the Golden...

Consider an economy described the following parameters: S=0.2 n=0.01 and 6 =0.04. The production function is given by y = k0.5 so that the steady-state y*=4 and the steady-state k*=16. At present k=12. Determine the percent rate of growth of y at this instant. Enter the value with two decimal places without the % sign. If the growth is negative, do enter the negative sign! Answer: -1.16 Be careful to find the growth rate of y. First you must find...
