Discuss the Solow growth model and its implications on
convergence between countries. It is a 1500 word essay. If you want
to do it in parts I have 19 credits remaining at my account.
Discuss the roots and implications of the Solow model. How does
the Solow model predict convergence? What are the conditions of
convergence? How well did the Solow model perform in explaining
growth? Make sure you discuss the recent evidence on the
convergence debate.
WHAT IS CONVERGENCE BETWEEN COUNTRIES?
WHY DOES THE STANDARD SOLOW MODEL IMPLY CONVERGENCE?
WHAT DOES IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONDITINSL SND INCONDITIONSL
CONVERGENCE?
In the Solow model, the relationship between growth in capital
stock and economic growth is not linear due to the model’s
dependence on a production function that exhibits diminishing
returns to capital. Therefore, the perceived impact of capital
accumulation on economic growth requires the interplay of
technological change and factor productivity.
Explain this statement with the aid of
the basic model: g = Wk x gk + WL x gL + a
According to the Solow growth model, will all countries
eventually converge to the same level of real wealth? Why or why
not? Suppose there are two countries, A and B. If the exogenous
savings rate is higher in country A than in country B, does this
mean that the steady state level of income is higher than country
A? Why or why not?
Explain how the Smoot-Hawley Tariff act is thought to have
worsened the severity of the Great Depression....
Which of the following is true about the Solow Growth Model?
a. In the Solow Growth model consumption per person always rises
as k rises
b. At a steady state the economy keeps growing with aggregate K,
Y, C for example all rising over time
c. At steady state the following condition must always hold at
k*: sy=(n+d)k
d. When the economy is below steady-state level of
capital-per-worker then savings per worker is higher than breakeven
investment
e. Golden rule...
According to the Solow growth model, how is international
financial aid expected to impact poor countries that receive the
aid? In many cases, did the provision of international financial
aid have the desired impact? Explain.
