Why are some countries rich and some countries poor?
Question 1 Computing long run equilibrium and the golden
rule
Suppose that the production function is given by: π‘Œπ‘‘ = 100 𝐾𝑑
0.6𝑁𝑑 0.4
and the evolution of capital stock given by: 𝐾𝑑+1 = (1 βˆ’ 𝛿)𝐾𝑑 +
𝐼𝑑
and in equilibrium 𝐼𝑑 = 𝑆𝑑 = π‘ π‘Œπ‘‘
a. Derive the steady state levels of capital per worker k* =
(Kt/Nt) * in terms of the saving rate (s) and the depreciation rate
(). Explain why and how s and  affect k*.
b. Derive the equation for steady-state output per worker (y*)
and steady-state consumption per worker (c*) in terms of s and .
Explain why and how s and  affect y* and c*.
c. Suppose that  = 10% (=0.1) and s = 5% (=0.05). Calculate k*,
y* and c*. Calculate saving per worker (s*=S*/N=sY*/N=sy*))
d. Show these solutions for k*, y*, c* and s* on the Solow-Swan
diagram.
