If national production is given by a Cobb-Douglas production function with constant returns to scale, real GDP is growing at 4%, the capital to labor ratio is constant, and the labor force is growing at 1.5%, what is the growth rate of the Solow residual? Assume α = 0.3. a) 1.5% b) 2.5% c) 5.5% d) 7.0% e) None of the above Please provide the solving process for this problem.
Show that the Cobb-Douglas production function has constant returns to scale.
Show that the Cobb-Douglas production function has constant returns to scale. [Hint: start by writing out \(F(z K, z L)=A(z K)^{\alpha}(z L)^{1-\alpha}\) and use your algebra to see where you can get from here. You will need to use the following rules: \((z K)^{\alpha}=z^{\alpha} K^{\alpha}\), and \(\left.z^{\alpha} z^{(1-\alpha)}=z^{(\alpha+1-\alpha)}=z\right]\).

Returns to scale. A production function has constant returns to scale with respect to inputs with inputs K and L if for any z > 0: F(z · K, z ·L) = zF(K, L), For example, for a production function with constant returns to scale, doubling the amount of each input (i.e., setting z = 2) will lead to a doubling of the output from the production function. A production function has increasing returns to scale if for any z >1: F(z ·...
