(a)

To determine

Determine the growth rate

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=k(13)=(13)×gk¯

Thus, the growth rate is (13)×gk¯

(b)

To determine

Determine the value of growth rate

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=k(13)l(13)=((13)×gk)+((23)×gt)

Thus, the growth rate is ((13)×gk)+((23)×gt)

(c)

To determine

Determine the value of growth rate

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=mk(13)l(13)=gm+((13)×gk)+((23)×gt)

Thus, the growth rate is gm+((13)×gk)+((23)×gt)

(d)

To determine

Determine the value of growth rate

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=mk(14)l(34)=gm+((14)×gk)+((34)×gt)

Thus, the growth rate is gm+((14)×gk)+((34)×gt)

(e)

To determine

Determine the value of growth rate

(e)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=mk(34)l(14)=gm+((34)×gk)+(14)×gt

Thus, the growth rate is gm+((34)×gk)+(14)×gt

(f)

To determine

Determine the value of growth rate

(f)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=(klm)(12)=((12))×(gm+gk+gt)

Thus, the growth rate is ((12))×(gm+gk+gt)

(g)

To determine

Determine the value of growth rate

(g)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If k, l and m grows at constant rate, then the growth rate can be calculated as follows:

y=(kl)(14)(1m)(34)=((14))×gk+(14)×gt(34)×gm

Thus, the growth rate is ((14))×gk+(14)×gt(34)×gm

Regard x and y as continuous variables. If x grows at 3% rate and y grows at 2% rate, what is the growth rate of z = x2y2? a. 0.5% b. 1.5% c. 2.5% d. None of above.
1.1. Basic properties of growth rates. Use the fact that the growth rate of a variable equals the time derivative of its log to show: (a) The growth rate of the product of two variables equals the sum of their growth rates. That is, if Z(t) = X(t)Y(t), then Ż(t)/Z(t) = [X(t)/X(t)] + [Ÿ(t)/Y(t)]. (b) The growth rate of the ratio of two variables equals the difference of their growth rates. That is, if Z(t) = X(t)/Y(t), then Ż(t)/Z(t) = [X(t)/X(t)]-[Y(t)/Y(t)]. (c) If Z(t) = aX(t)a, then Ż(t)/Z(t) = aX(t)/X(t).
Sweden and Norway are two neighboring countries in Northern Europe with similar savings rates, population growth rates, technology growth rates, and depreciation rates. However, Norway differs from Sweden in that Norway has large deposits of oil all along its coast, which makes it very easy for Norway to produce large quantities of crude oil every year with relatively little capital and labor. a) Draw a Solow Growth diagram that compares Sweden and Norway. What is the main difference between the two countries in the diagram? b) According to the Solow Growth Model, which country would have a higher standard of living in the long run? Which country would have a higher growth rate of its standard of living in the long run? c) Suppose now that, in the long run, oil becomes obsolete and has no value because it is uneconomical relative to renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. What would this do to your Solow Growth diagram in part a? How would the standard of living in Norway…
