Consider a closed economy in which the depreciation rate is 10% per year, the rate of population increase is 2% per year, the rate of technological progress is 1% per year Andy the households save 30% of their income. Suppose the aggregate production function is; Y=f(K, AL)= 9K^4/5 (AL)^1/5 Where Y is output, K is capital, A is the level of technology and L is labor input.

a) Derive the production function in per effective worker terms.

b) Solve for the steady-state values of capital per effective worker (k*), output per effective worker (y*), consumption per effective worker (c*), and savings per effective worker (s*).

c) Derive the equation for the growth rate of output per worker, the growth rate of capital per worker, the growth rate of output and growth rate of capital. What are the values of the growth rates derived?

A 72 year old woman went into a walk-in clinic with complaints of coughing and shortness of breath. She was diagnosed with acute bronchitis and was given a prescription for antibiotics. She was told to return to the clinic if her symptoms did not respond to the antibiotics. The patient returned, the following week. She had similar complaints and was given a chest x-ray, which was normal. The patient was diagnosed with respiratory illness and was referred to a pulmonologist. She went home and suffered a massive heart attack the next day and died. In a law suit that followed, her daughter claimed that an EKG should have been ordered and that her mother should have been referred to a cardiac physician. The Dr. argued that the patient denied chest pain and angina symptoms during the evaluation and that the diagnosis that was made was reasonable.


Do you think the doctor should be liable in this case? Why or why not?
