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). -attached spread sheet shown below*****
a. What is the steady state level of y and k.
b. Suppose TFP increases by 20%. What happens to the steady state y and k?
c. Suppose the investment rate increases to 40%. What happens to
the steady state y and k?

Consider an economy that is characterized by the Solow Model. The (aggregate) production function is given by: Y = 6K1/3L2/3 In this economy, workers consume 80% of income and save the rest. The labour force is growing at 2% per year while the annual rate of capital depreciation is 5.5%. a) Solve for the steady state capital-labour ratio and consumption per worker. The economy is in its steady state as described in part (a). Suppose both the stock of capital...
