ConceptualProblems:
1.Theproductionfunctionprovidesaquantitativelinkbetweeninputsandoutput.Forexample,theCobb-Douglasproductionfunctionmentionedinthetextisoftheform:
Y=F(N,K)=AN1-qKq,
whereYrepresentsthelevelofoutput.(1-q)andqareweightsequaltothesharesoflabor(N)andcapital(K)inproduction,whileAisoftenusedasameasurefortheleveloftechnology.Itcanbeeasilyshownthatlaborandcapitaleachcontributetoeconomicgrowthbyanamountthatisequaltotheirindividualgrowthratesmultipliedbytheirrespectiveshareinincome.

Y=F(K,N,H)=ANaKbHcwitha+b+c=1.
Thenthegrowthrateofoutputcanbecalculatedas
DY/Y=DA/A+a(DN/N)+b(DK/K)+c(DH/H).
5. Thesavingsfunctionsy=sf(k)assumesthataconstantfractionofoutputissaved.Theinvestmentrequirement,thatis,the(n+d)k-line,representstheamountofinvestmentneededtomaintainaconstantcapital-laborratio(k).Asteady-stateequilibriumisreachedwhensavingisequaltotheinvestmentrequirement,thatis,whensy=(n+d)k.Atthispointthecapital-laborratiok=K/Nisnotchanging,socapital(K),labor(N),andoutput(Y)allmustbegrowingatthesamerate,thatis,therateofpopulationgrowthn=(DN/N).
6. Inthelongrun,therateofpopulationgrowthn=(DN/N)determinesthegrowthrateofthesteady-stateoutputpercapita.Intheshortrun,however,thesavingsrate,technologicalprogress,andtherateofdepreciationcanallaffectthegrowthrate.
7. LaborproductivityisdefinedasY/N,thatis,theratioofoutput(Y)tolaborinput(N).Asurgeinlaborproductivitythereforeoccursifoutputgrowsatafasterratethanlaborinput.IntheU.S.wehaveexperiencedsuchasurgeinlaborproductivitysincethemid-1990sduetotheenormousgrowthinGDP.Thissurgecanbeexplainedfromtheintroductionofnewtechnologiesandmoreefficientuseofexistingtechnologies.Manyclaimthattheincreasedinvestmentinanduseofcomputertechnologyhasstimulatedeconomicgrowth.Furthermore,increasedglobalcompetitionhasforcedmanyfirmstocutcostsbyreorganizingproductionandeliminatingsomejobs.Thus,withlargeincreasesinoutputandaslowerrateofjobcreationweshouldexpectlaborproductivitytoincrease.(Oneshouldalsonotethatahigher-skilledlaborforcealsocancontributetoanincreaseinlaborproductivity,sincethesamenumberofworkerscanproducemoreoutputifworkersaremorehighlyskilled.)
TechnicalProblems:
1.a. AccordingtoEquation
(2),thegrowthofoutputisequaltothegrowthinlabortimesthelaborshareplusthegrowthofcapitaltimesthecapitalshareplustherateoftechnicalprogress,thatis,
DY/Y=(1-q)(DN/N)+q(DK/K)+DA/A,where
1-qistheshareoflabor(N)andqistheshareofcapital(K).Thusifweassumethattherateoftechnologicalprogress(DA/A)iszero,thenoutputgrowsatanannualrateof3.6percent,since
DY/Y=(0.6)(2%)+(0.4)(6%)+0%=1.2%+2.4%=+3.6%,
1.b. Theso-called"
Ruleof70"
suggeststhatthelengthoftimeittakesforoutputtodoublecanbecalculatedbydividing70bythegrowthrateofoutput.Since70/3.6=19.44,itwilltakejustunder20yearsforoutputtodoubleatanannualgrowthrateof3.6%,
1.c. NowthatDA/A=2%,wecancalculateeconomicgrowthas
DY/Y=(0.6)(2%)+(0.4)(6%)+2%=1.2%+2.4%+2%=+5.6%.
Thusitwilltake70/5.6=12.5yearsforoutputtodoubleatthisnewgrowthrateof5.6%.
