Can the solow model explain economic growth if there is an
increase in the manufacturing sector or aggriculture sector in a
country? For example, how would a recent increase in manufacturing
or aggriculture affect the solow model? Also, an increase in
capital or investment only leads to short term growth right? The
only way for long term growth is through technological
progress?
Question 13
a)
Consider the country of Solow,which is described by the
Solow-Swan growth model with constant total factor productivity.
Let the saving rate 0=0.75.Per
capita output(y)is equal to 100 and the per capita capital
stock(k)is 1000. For Solow to be in steady state:
A. the depreciation rate and population growth rate must sum
to 0.75
B. the depreciation rate is 0.025 and the population growth
rate is 0.05
C. the depreciation rate is 0.25 and the population growth
rate...
which of the following elements of Solow-Swan model did the
Romer model endogenies?
A. the growth rate of labor force
B. the growth rate fo labor efficiency
C. The saving rate
D. none of above is correct
E. the depreciation rate
Economic growth
a. According
to the Solow model of economic growth, what determines the growth
rate of real income per person in the very long run (steady
state)? Explain.
b. What public
policies have been proposed to increase the rate of economic
growth? Explain.
According to the Solow-Swan model of growth, government policies
which are designed to increase the savings rate will have no effect
on growth in the very long run and may, under certain
circumstances, actually reduce aggregate consumption in the long
run.
Please evaluate the statement as either TRUE,FALSE or UNCERTAIN.
Please illustrate your answers with diagrams and/or algebra when
appropriate.
14. In the Solow-Swan growth model of Chapter 8, the economy
ends up in the long run with a steady state level of capital per
worker:
A. only if it starts with capital per worker less than the
steady-state level.
B. only if it starts with capital per worker more than the
steady-state level.
C. only if it starts with capital per worker equal to the
steady-state level.
D. regardless of its starting level of capital per worker.
15. In...
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
1. In the Solow growth model, the
rate of economic growth in the long run depends
on
a. the rate of progress of the
“effectiveness” of inputs or the growth rate of total
factor productivity
b. the population growth
rate
c. the savings rate
d. the level of education of the
population
2. The rate of economic growth of
output per worker in the US between 1800 and
2011
a. depended mostly on changes in TFP
(total factor productivity)
b....
