Choose the best answer to each
question.
Consider a Solow growth model with the
following production function:
Y-FiX.L) - K0.3 (AL) 0.7
(1) If A = 2, L= 20.000, and K = 400, what is output?
(2) Does this production function have constant
returns to scale? Explain.
(3) Suppose the labor force grows by 5% so that it is
now 21.000. By how
much does output increase?
(4) Starting again with the conditions in part (1),
what if capital increases by
5%, so that it is now 420. By how much does
output increase?
For each pair listed below, i) explain the meaning
and significance of both terms, and il) briefly
explain the relationship between the two terms.
(1) the center; the periphery
(2) steady state, Golden-rule steady state
(3) convergence; conditional convergence
(4) TP; growth accounting equation
Discuss some limitations of the following three
models
(1) the Lewis model
(2) Dependency theory
(3) Slow model
