[The following scenario applies to the next two questions.] An economy has a Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = AK L(1-a).

Assume that a country's production function is Y= AKº³Lº7. The ratio of capital to output is 3, the growth rate of output is 3 percent, and the depreciation rate is 4 percent. Capital is paid its marginal product. a. What is the marginal product of capital in this situation? (Hint: The marginal product of capital may be computed using calculus by differentiating the production function and using the capital-output ratio or by using the fact that capital's share equals MPK multiplied by K divided by Y.) b. If the economy is in a steady state, what must be the saving rate? (Hint: The saving rate multiplied by Y must provide for gross growth of (8 + n + g)K, where 8 is the depreciation rate.) c.

What must the saving rate be to achieve the Golden Rule level of capital?

1. Consider a Cobb-Douglas production function that features capital-augmenting technology: Y(t) = [A(t) K(t)]aL(t)¹-a. Assume that technology A(t) grows at rate u: A(t) = μA(t). Show that the economy converges to a balanced growth path, and find the growth rates of Y and K on the balanced growth path. 2. Let the production function be Y(t) = J(t)aL(t)1-a, where J(t) is the effective capital stock. The dynamics of J(t) are given by j (t) = sA(t)Y (t) — 8(t). The presence of the A(t) term in this expression means that the productivity of investment at t depends on the technology at t. Show that the economy converges to a balanced growth path. What are the growth rates of Y and J on the balanced growth path? dy* S as y* 3.
