The production function in each of Freedonia and Transylvania is Y=A (K) (L) 2/3 Freedonia is the wealthier of the two and has per capita output 16x that of Transylvania. [15] Suppose Freedonia has a capital/labor ratio 27 times that of Transylvania. If this were the only difference in the two countries how much wealthier would Freedonia be relative to Transylvania? [16] What can one conclude from the exercise in [15]? [17] Some growth accounting: Output in Freedonia is determined by the production function Y=A(K)¹/2(L)¹/2. From 2005 to 2010 the Freedonian capital stock grew by 1%, total hours worked fell by 1%, and total factor productivity grew by 3%. As a result, total output over this period grew by %.
