Consider an economy where the production function is ? = ? 2 + 100. The savings rate in the economy is ? = 0.02 and the depreciation rate is ? = 0.2.
a. The economy starts in year 1 with ? = 20 units of capital. Compute the economy’s output, investment and depreciation in year 1.
b. What will be the economy’s capital stock in year 2?
c. Compute the economy’s output, investment and depreciation in year 2
d. What will be the economy’s capital stock in year 3?
e. Compute investment and depreciation for the levels of capital shown on the table. Capital Investment Depreciation
? = 0
? = 10
? = 20
? = 30
? = 40
? = 50
f. Graph the investment and depreciation functions below.
What is the steady-state level of capital in this economy? You may use your diagram to explain – No math needed.

Solow Growth Model Question: Consider an economy where output
(Y) is produced according to function Y=F(K,L). L is number of
workers and Y is the capital stock. Production function F(K,L) has
constant returns to scale and diminishing marginal returns to
capital and labor individually. Economy works under assumption that
technology is constant over time. The economy is in the
steady-state capital per worker. Draw graph. Next scenario is that
the rate of depreciation of capital increases due to climate change...
