In an economy with no population growth and no technological change, steady-state consumption is at its greatest possible level when the marginal product of: A. capital equals the depreciation rate. B. capital equals zero. C. labor equals the marginal product of capital. D. labor equals the depreciation rate.
Andrew D.
Diminishing marginal product explains why, as a firm's output increases, a. the production function and total-cost curve both get steeper. b. the production function and total-cost curve both get flatter. c. the production function gets steeper, while the total-cost curve gets flatter. d. the production function gets flatter, while the total-cost curve gets steeper.
Consider the Solow model with a production function $Y(t)=A \cdot k(t)^{\alpha} L(t)^{1-\alpha},$ where $A$ is a fixed technological parameter. Explicitly solve for the steady-state value of the per capita capital stock and per capita income. How do these values change in response to a rise in (a) the technological parameter $A,(\mathrm{b})$ the rate of saving $s$ (c) $\alpha,(\mathrm{d}) \delta,$ the depreciation rate, and (e) the population growth rate $n ?$
