A central assumption of the Neoclassical growth model is that
A) long-run growth arises from correcting market failures b) long-run growth arises only from technological innovation
B) long-run growth arises only from technological innovation
C) there are diminishing marginal returns to a single factor
D) there are constant marginal returns to investment
E) there are increasing marginal returns to capital investment
Correct option is (C).
The Neoclassical growth model is based on a key assumption that returns to capital (a single factor) exhibits diminishing returns.

The short run marginal cost curve in the traditional microeconomic model of production eventually rises because of a. diseconomies of scale. b. diminishing marginal revenues. c. rising fixed costs. d. increasing marginal productivity of variable inputs. e. diminishing marginal returns. . If the long-run average cost of production falls as the firm increases its level of output, then the firm exhibits a. constant returns to scale. b. constant marginal costs. c. economies of scale. d. diseconomies of scale. e. diminishing...
Why does the Solow model cannot explain growth in the long run? What is the role of decreasing marginal returns of capital in explaining this result?
In the Solow growth model with technological progress (and diminishing marginal returns to capital), explain the steady-state growth rates for: a. Capital per effective worker b. Output per effective worker c. Output per worker d. Total output
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....
Using the neoclassical model of consumption, an implication of the permanent-income hypothesis is 38. because a. consumption smoothing; of diminishing marginal utility b. that permanent income follows a random walk; of aggregate demand shocks c. that wealth is constant; real interest rates are, more or less, constant d. a low discount factor; of the borrowing constraint e. no borrowing; income in the future is higher and the firm will A decline in the cororte income tax will a. raise the...
Solow Growth Model Which of the following best describe Steady State? A. output growth accelerates B. investment is balanced by depreciation C. investment exceeds depreciation D. the capital labor ratio increases ° Classical versus Endogenous Growth Models One significant disctinction between the classical and endogenous models is O A. only endogenous models explain perfect competition B. both models use constant returns to scale O O C. classical models utilize constant returns to scale, endogenous models employ increasing returns to scale...

.Question Completion Status QUESTION 11 Suppose a firm doubles its employment of all inptuts in the long run. If this action more than doubles the amount of capital produced, then this firm is experiencing O Increasing returns to scale diminishing marginal returns o technological progress O positive marginal revenue QUESTION 12 When input prices are fixed, decreasing returns to scale implies that the long run average cost curve is downward sloping O horizontal upward sloping O Ushaped QUESTION 13 If...

a ) Consider the following Neoclassical growth model. Capital depreciates at an annual rate of 25% and population grows at an annual rate of 5%. There is noproductivity growth. The economy saves 10% of its income. Currently, each worker uses $2000 of capital and produces $5000 of output. We can conclude that the amount of investment per worker needed to break-even is ___ and capital per worker will __ from this year to the next. (A) $600; decrease by $100....
