Question

Suppose income per capita of Country 1 is half that of Country 2 and the countries share the same production function. If s 1 = 0.1, A 1 = 10, s 2 = 0.2, A 2 = 12, and a = 1/3 and all the other parameters are the same across countries, over the long run, the income gap between the countries a. widens. b. completely closes. c. narrows, but doesn’t completely close. d. stays the same.

Step 1

- Income per capita of Country 1 is half that of Country 2. - Both countries share the same production function. - Parameters given: \( s_1 = 0.1 \), \( A_1 = 10 \), \( s_2 = 0.2 \), \( A_2 = 12 \), \( a = 1/3 \). - \( s \) represents the saving rate, \( A \) Show more…
