Question:

Suppose the production function is \(Y=A K^{0.3} N^{0.7}\) and that in 2000, \(K=1000, N=100\), and \(Y=199.5\). In 2010, capital, labor, and output have doubled, so \(K=2000\), \(N=200\), and \(Y=399\).

a. By what percentage did productivity grow from 2000 to 2010 ?

b. If output had risen to 798 instead of 399 and capital and labor had doubled, by what percentage would productivity have grown from 2000 to 2010 ?
