Question 20: A country has a 2008 growth rate of 4.2% and a 2007 GDP of $8,222 (in billions). What was the GDP in 2008? Question 31: If a country's initial real GDP is $10,000 and its yearly growth rate of GDP is 3.5%, use the Rule of 70 to determine approximately how many years it would take for this economy to double its GDP. A) 24.5 years B) 7 years C) 4.5 years D) 20 years Question 38: Consider...
A country has the following production function: Yt=Kt^0.5Lt^0.5 Assume that 5 percent of of capital depreciates each year and the country saves 20 percent of output each year. What is the per worker production function, What is the steady-state level of capital per worker? What is the steady-state level of output per worker? The steady-state level of consumption per worker is: The steady-state level of saving per person is: The growth rate of output per person in the steady-state is:
a)Assume that country A has the following production function Y=K^0.3 L^0.7 Its saving rate is 20% per year. The depreciation rate is assumed to be 5% per year. What is the steady state level of capital stock per capital, K*?What is the steady state level of output per capital, Y*? What is the steady state level of c*? Show the results in a suitable diagram. b) At year 1,K=6. Is this a steady state? Find out the values of GDP...
1. Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K,L)= VKL. (5 Points) Does this production function have constant returns to scale? Explain. (5 Points) What is the per-worker production function, y=f(k)? (10 Points) 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...
An economy (country A) has a Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = K0.4 (LE) 0.6 The economy has a saving rate of 48 percent, a depreciation rate of 2 percent, a rate of population growth of 1 percent, and a rate of labor-augmenting technological change of 3 percent. Assume there is a second economy (country B) with everything identical to country A except for the rate of population growth, which is 2 percent. Answer questions 4 and 5 above for country...
Problem 4
Consider a country with production function , where y =
5k1/2, where y is the output per worker and k is capital
per worker. Suppose the investment in capital occurs at a rate of
35% of income per worker every period, depreciation rate is 1.5%
and population growth rate is 2%. Use excel to plot the production
function, investment line and capital depletion line with k on the
x-axis(use the attached spread sheet to draw your graphs).

Country A and country B both have the production function Y = F(K, L) = K1/3L2/3. a) What is the per-worker production function, y = f(k)? b) Assume that neither country experiences population growth or technological progress and that 10 percent of capital depreciates each year. Assume further that country A saves 15 percent of output each year and country B saves 25 percent of output each year. Using your answer from part (a) and the steady-state condition that investment...
