What is the effect of an increase in the investment rate on the level of steady-state output per worker in the Solow model? Show in a graph.

Expert Solution

Answer) In a simple Solow model steady state is reached when gross investment is equal to level of depreciation. The economy has attained steady state of capital stock per capital which implies steady state of output per capita.

To the left of K* capital stock per capita is rising because the rate of investment is higher than rate of depreciation. However investment is increasing at decreasing rate (due to neo classical production function) while depreciation takes place at a constant rate therefore at K* the two become equal & economy reaches steady state at this point output per capita remains constant because there is no change in labor force. The capital output ratio becomes constant only in steady state it keeps increasing due to diminishing marginal productivity of capital.

In order to maximize the steady state level of consumption per worker, the Golden Rule steady state capital stock per worker (k*gold) satisfies the condition that the marginal productivity of capital at the k*gold capital level equals the depreciation rate . Graphically illustrate how to find the k*gold. (20 points)

A) Explain why the steady state growth rate is independent of the savings rate in the Solow growth model? B) Suppose two economies A and B exhibit the same exogenous growth rate of the labour force. There is no technical progress and the savings propensities are the same in both economies. The initial capital stock in country A is much larger than that of country B. Compare the transitional dynamics and the steady state growth paths of the two economies.

In a pumping test of a confined aquifer, the steady state water level in an observation well 10m from the pumping well was 38mOD and was 42 mOD in another observation well 100m from the pumping well. The water levels in both wells were steady at 50mOD before the test began and then water was pumped at a constant rate of 0.005m^3/s from the pumping well. Estimate the aquifer transmissivity. If the aquifer is 15m thick, estimate the hydraulic conductivity...
