4. A country with a higher depreciation rate of capital will end up having
A) a higher output per worker in the long run
B) a lower output per worker in the long run
C) the same output per worker of a country with a lower depreciation rate
D) the depreciation rate of capital does not affect the output per worker in the long run
Answer: (b)
Depreciation reduces the change in capital stock or capital stock will get reduced. So now capital per worker and output per worker witness fall over the long run.

Suppose Country X's initial capital per effective worker (K/AN) ratio is 16, while Country Z's initial capital per effective worker (KAN) ountries have the same production function: F(K, A,N) = 10K, 5(AN)05 (a) Derive the output per effective worker. The evolution of the capital stock is given by K +1 = (1 - 6)K, + I, where is the depreciation rate. (b) Derive and show that in the long-run growth model, the steady state capital per...

12. Assume two economies are identical in every way except that one has a higher population growth rate. According to the Solow growth model, in the steady state the country with the higher population growth rate will have a ______ level of output per person and ______ rate of growth of output per worker as/than the country with the lower population growth rate. A) lower; a lower B) higher; the same C) higher; a higher D) lower; the same
Suppose that all countries are identical in their saving rate and depreciation rate, and have the same aggregate production function. Suppose that the countries are different only in the population growth rate. What is the implication of the Solow model for output per worker in the long-run for each country? Explain why.
Consider an economy such that Output per worker: yt = 2k0.5 Capital per worker: kt Depreciation rate: 8 = 0.4 Saving rate: s = 0.2 Evolution of capital per worker: kt+1- kt = syt - Skt In the steady state, capital per worker does not change over time Let k* denote the steady state level of capital per worker Question 1.In the steady state, capital per worker is a)8 b)4 c)2 d)1 Question 2.Which one of the following statements is...
4. Suppose an economy has capital share of half, a savings rate of 12%, depreciation rate of 2%, population growing at 2% and labor-augmenting technological change of 2% yearly. a) What is the steady-state level of capital per efficiency unit of labor? b) Is this economy at the golden rule level of savings/investment? Fully detail your reasoning. c) If the economy decides to transition to Golden Rule, what will happen to consumption, capital per efficiency unit of labor and output...

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...
4. Which of the following will cause an increase in output per worker in the long run? A. an increase in the saving rate ( B. a reduction in the depreciation rate C. an increase in the stock of human capital D. an improvement of technology 5. Suppose, due to a military conflict, that a country experiences a large reduction in its capital stock. Assume no other effects of this event on the economy. Which of the following will tend...
