Question 8

 

The Neoclassical growth model is based on the existence of an aggregate production function-showing the relationship between labor (L), capital (K), technology (T), and real GDP (Y). The table below shows various values for L, K, and T. In all cases, the aggregate production function is assumed to take the following form:   

           

         Labor (L)            Capital (K)                  Technology (T)            Real GDP (Y)
