Considering the Solow model, what will be the effect of an immediate doubling of the size of the labour force on GDP per capita? What is the effect in the long run?

Sollow model Consider the economy in the constant scale where to increase the GDP by N% required to increase both the Capital and the labour with N%.

whereas by the given condition: any Immidiate change in the labour force in size which is 100%(Doubling the size) decreases the Capital Lbaour ratio (k)= K/L, by which the total output of the country increases but with the Less efficiency or the constant value of the growth rate may fall as it is to be considered that economy was stabize at full employment rate therefore any change in capital labour ratio decreases thhe marginal productivity of the market. Therefore percentage change in GDP is lesser than the Percentage change in labour(population) hence GDP per capita Falls.

Where as in long run this effect will be nullufy as economy restore the state of constant return and regain the effiecient capital labour ratio(k=K/L) hence GDP per capita restored to intial level with full employment level.

1. This question is about the effect of the Corona epidemic in the Solow model. As a result of the Coronavirus the savings between time t and time t+1 is zero.Assume that the epidemic starts at time t and lasts for one year. The amount of capital at time t is Kt =100. The depreciation rate is d = 0.1 . The population at time t is Nt =100. The rate of population growth is n = 0.05 and Nt+1...

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.

the solow model: sAf(k)=(δ+n) k (Base your answers for this on the Solow model.) President Trump’s speechwriters once told him to say something like “my deregulation plan will increase the share of national output being used for investment, helping to permanently restore rapid economic growth (per worker).” i. Do you agree it would help increase the growth rate of GDP per worker during his presidency? ii. Do you agree it will raise growth of GDP per worker permanently?
