A country has the per-worker production function yt = 6
,where yt is output per worker and kt is the capital-labor ratio. The depreciation rate is 0.1 and the population growth rate is 0.1. The saving function is St = 0.1Yt,where St is total national saving and Yt is total output.(a)What is the steady-state value of capital-labor ratio?(b)What is the steady-state value of output per worker?(c)What is the steady-state value of consumption per worker?
What will be an ideal response?
| (a) | sf(k) = (n + d)k, so 0.1 × 6k2/3 = 0.2k; or k1/3 = 3, so k = 27. |
| (b) | y = 6k2/3 = 54. |
| (c) | c = (1 - s)y = 0.9y = 48.6. |
