Consider the central planner problem in the neoclassical growth model. The planner seeks to maximize the sum of the disc
Consider the central planner problem in the neoclassical growth model. The planner seeks to maximize the sum of the discounted utility subject to the budget constraint at the aggregate level, that is, the planner's problem is the following: mix Σβ'u(cm) {c+,kt+1}==0 s.t. Ct +kt+1 = (1 - 6)kt + f(kt) where f(kt) = ki ne uſat) - cl-o = 1-0 , a= 0,3 0 = 2. The initial capital ko = 1. a) Set up the recursive scheduler problem. b) Compute the first-order conditions and apply the envelope theorem. Find the equation that characterizes the optimal consumption decisions. c) Show the system of nonlinear difference equations that determines the dynamics of consumption and capital in this economy. d) Find the steady state capital of this economy. e) How does this steady state compare to the steady state of the Solow model, assuming that the Solow model holds the rule of thumb? Which economy has the highest steady-state per capita income? What are the differences due to?
