produced using capital, labour, land and nonrenewable natural
resources? List three possible ways that can reduce the magnitude
of the growth drag.

14. In the Solow growth model, output ? is produced
using capital ? and labour ?.
There are constant returns to scale, and diminishing returns to
capital and labour
individually. The production function is ? = ?(?, ?), capital
depreciates at rate ?,
the population grows at rate ?, and the saving rate is ?.
(a) Sketch graphs of saving per worker, and the amount of
investment
per worker needed to maintain a constant level of capital per
worker, both...
Solow Growth Model Question:
Consider an economy where output (Y) is produced according to
function Y=F(K,L). L is number of workers and Y is the capital
stock. Production function F(K,L) has constant returns to scale and
diminishing marginal returns to capital and labor individually.
Economy works under assumption that technology is constant over
time. The economy is in the steady-state capital per worker. Draw
graph. In two year time there is a natural disaster which destroys
part of economies capital...
Let the production function for an economy be
Y=AK1/2L1/2 where Y is output, K is capital,
L is labor and A is "ideas." If A=4, L=100, the savings rate is 1/5
and the depreciation rate is 1/3, find the steady-state levels of
capital, output and consumption. [Answers are all whole
numbers.]

Consider a country whose output can be produced with 2 inputs
(capital and labor). The output per worker/capita production
function is given by y=k1/2, where y represents output
per worker/capita and k is capital per
worker/capita. Assume the fraction of output
saved/invested is (the savings rate) s = 25%, the population growth
rate is 0%, the depreciation rate δ=5%, the level of technology is
constant at A=1 and the assumptions of the Solow model hold.
What are the steady state levels...

A firm produces output using the technology:
Q = 5K0.33L0.5
where capital, K, is measured in machine-hours, labor, L, is
measured in person-hours, and Q denotes the yearly output. The
hourly wage rate in China WL = $10, and the hourly
rental rate of capital (IN EFFECT CAPITAL COSTS $2 PER MACHINE
HOUR) is WK = 2 and the Price is $10.
a.) Does this production function display increasing returns to
scale, constant returns to scale or decreasing returns to...
Consider the production function ? = ?? ?? ? where ? is output,
? is capital, ? is labour and ?, ? and ? are positive
parameters.
a. Derive the parametric conditions under which production
exhibits CRS, IRS and DRS, respectively.
b. Let ?(?,?0) be the isoquant associated with output level ?0.
Derive the expression for ?(?,?0). In a graph, illustrate this
function and the effect of an innovation represented by an increase
in the value of ?.
