- In the Solow growth model, if all countries have the same technology, population growth,savings behavior, and depreciation rates, but that one is much richer than the others. What happens in the long run? A. The other countries catch up to the rich one. B. The rich country grows the fastest. C. The rich country becomes poorer than the others. D. Nothing.In economics, we should know about the standard of living, the knowledge about Solow growth model and endogenous growth model of a country. Why it is so importance to know all of these?1. Draw a well-labeled graph that illustrates the steady-state of the Solow model with population growth. Use the graph to find what happens to steady-state capital per worker and income per worker in response to each of the following exogenous changes.a. A change in consumer preferences increases the saving rate.b. A change in weather patterns increases the depreciation rate.c. Better birth-control methods reduce the rate of population growth.
- Economics 4. The Solow model says that population growth will not benefit a country in the long run but Michael Kremer disagrees. Explain both positions. Use a graph to explain Solow's argument. 5. The amount of education the typical person receives varies substantially among countries. Suppose you were to compare a country with a highly educated labor force and a country with a less educated labor force. Assume that education affects only the level of the efficiency of labor. Also assume that the countries are otherwise the same: They have the same saving rate, the same depreciation rate, the same population growth rate, and the same rate of technological progress. Both countries are described by the Solow model and are in their steady states. How would the following variables differ between the countries? A. The rate of growth of total income B. The level of income per worker C. The real rental price of capital D. The real wageDraw a well- labeled graph that illustrates the steady state of the Solow model with population growth. Use the graph to find what happens to steady-state capital per worker and income per worker in response to each of the following exogenous changes. A change in weather patterns increases the depreciation rate. b. Better birth-control methods reduce the rate of population growth.The government of "Arcadia" is considering various proposals to increase the country's GDP growth rates. Using the predictions of the Solow growth model, please discuss the merits of each of the proposed ideas for generating growth in income. For each proposal does your answer change in the short and long run? That is, would you always give the same advice? a. Information campaign to encourage people to save in an effort to increase national savings rate. o. Investment in building new roads connecting villages to cities (in this case existing road infrastructure is limited in the country)
- Our simple growth model implies that Select one: a.countries with higher K/L ratios will have higher economic growth. b.increases in K/L increase Y/L but at a diminishing rate. c.capital has no impact on Y/L. d.there is little prospect of poor countries catching up with rich countries. In the past few years, several high profile celebrities have campaigned for debt relief for HIPC's (Highly Indebted Poor Countries). While debt relief can potentially play a useful role in poverty reduction there are also some possible downsides such as Select one: a.reducing a poor nations exports. b.increasing government deficits. c.encouraging further debt by setting up an expectation that future debts will also be forgiven. d.under cutting local markets for food and other commodities given as aid.Problem 1: How can policymakers influence a nation’s saving rate? Problem 2: Draw a well-labeled graph that illustrates the steady state of the Solow model with population growth. Use the graph to find what happens to steady-state capital per worker and income per worker in response to each of the following exogenous changes. a. A change in consumer preferences increases the saving rate. b. A change in weather patterns increases the depreciation rate. c. Better birth-control methods reduce the rate of population growth. d. A one-time, permanent improvement in technology increases the amount of output that can be produced from any given amount of capital and labor.Economics The Solow model says that population growth will not benefit a country in the long run but Michael Kremer disagrees. Explain both positions. Use a graph to explain Solow's argument.
- please write in brief detail the meaning of “steady-state” and “balanced growth path” in the Solow Growth Model.Part 1 - Practice Questions 1. Suppose that a country enacts a tax policy that discourages investment and pushes the savings rate permanently lower from 5₁ to 52. Assume the economy is initially in its steady state. a. Use the Solow diagram to explain how the economy reaches its new steady state. b. Draw a graph showing how output evolves over time with Y on the y-axis and time on the x-axis and explain what happens to growth over time. 2. Explain whether each of the goods below are rivalrous or non-rivalrous. a. An iPhone b. A method for mass producing goods c. The Pythagorean theorem 3. Suppose an economy is currently on a balance growth path as described by the Romer model. For the following scenarios, determine whether the change will affect growth of and/or level of output per person; make use of the two equations noted in experiment #1 and #2 in Lecture 6 to support your answer. Then, using a ratio scale graph, illustrate the initial balanced growth path and the new path caused…Use the Solow model to trace through the effect of these two scenarios on short and long-term growth rates in an economy. (i) A rise in the savings rate. (ii) A natural disaster hits a country and destroys half the country’s capital stock.
