Consider a production function and the resource constraint Y = F(K, Lt) = AKO L and the capital accumulation equation Y = C + I + G e G = K Assume there is no population growth, so L = Lt+1= L (2) K+1=It + (1-d)K, Consumers consume a certain fraction of the output so the consumption equation is C = (1-5)Y (4) The government spending G, is a fraction of capital stock, so with the higher capital stock, there is more government spending. (5) (3) a. Derive a Solow-Growth model and describe the intuition of the equation. b. What is the key assumption in this model c. Find the steady state per-worker quantities of capital, output, and consumption d. Draw the Solow model (the x-axis is Capital stock, the y-axis is output) e. Suppose there was a big government spending. Therefore, g increased. What is the new steady state per-worker quantities of capital, output, and consumption?
