understanding the factors that generate sustained growth in output per person
understanding the factors that can cause output per person to stagnate in some countries
understanding the factors that can lead a poor, stagnant growth economy to transition to a rich country with sustained growth
all of the above
They are interested in all of the above. In fact all of the above factors are explained by the Solow model. We try to understand whether it is the savings rate, population growth or the technological growth which leads to growth. Therefore, it becomes important for the economists to know how can we sustain growth and avoid situations of stagnation of the economy. It is also important to understand why some economies grow faster than other and how poor countries become rich with sustained growth so that we can learn from their lesson and follow their footsteps.

5. List the 3 categories of things that affect economic growth in the long run. 6. Which of the above categories probably explains most of the difference between rich countries and poor countries? 7. In the long run, money is 8. A conveys ownership of a company while a entitles the owner to a fixed amount of money in the future. 9. A riskier bond will have a price and a rate of return. 10. If output grows at 10%...

EC.1. Suppose the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that in the current month 2% of the US population of employed lost their jobs and 15% of the unemployed found work. What is the current month's natural rate of unemployment? (3 points) EC.3. Choose two countries that interests you, one rich and one poor. What is the income per person in each country? Find some data on country characteristics that might help explain the difference in income: investment rates, population growth...
To obtain a somewhat deeper understanding of the results in Jones and Klenow’s analysis of welfare across countries, let us consider how they actually compute welfare of the citizens in a country, to be distinguished from mere GDP/capita. Jones and Klenow take into account life expectancy, the consumption/output ratio, leisure, and inequality; we will illustrate how they deal with three of these four. The general idea is to use a utility function—an idea borrowed from microeconomics— and to assume that...

Solow Growth Model D. Consider an economy with production characterized by function Y = AVKL, per capita output y = AVkt with rate of depreciation of capital 8, investment it = sy. = sAvky, capital transition function kt+1 - k = SAVk - Okt, where s is savings ratio. 1. Putting per capita output (income) y on the y-axis and k on the x-axis, graph the curves for depre- ciation and investment. Label steady state capital k* and steady state...
The figure below depicts the aggregate demand curve (AD) and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for the United States. The economy is initially at long-run equilibrium, at point A.One of the most contentious issues among economists involves the economy’s adjustment to long-run equilibrium. Some economists believe that adjustment can and should occur naturally. This group, the classical economists, stresses the importance of aggregate supply. Others see the return to long-run equilibrium as an adjustment that occurs unpredictably and often...
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...

1. Describe the causative relationship between economic growth and economic development. You answer should be structured in terms of the general factors necessary for economic growth. 2. Under assumptions of the Harrod-Domar model, how does a decrease in capital-output ratio lead to the possibility of self-sustaining growth? 3. Using a Lewis labor surplus framework show graphically and explain how an increase in capital-augmenting agricultural (traditional sector) technology affects a country’s ability to achieve self-sustaining growth that is driven by modern...
