Question

Suppose labor's share of output is 60% and capital's share of output is 40%. If labor grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of ANSWER HERE%. If capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of ANSWER HERE%.

Answer 1

If capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

Given,

Labor's share of output = 60%

Capital's share of output = 40%

Labor grows on a rate of = 5%

Capital grows on a rate of = 5%

Thus, output will grow at a rate of = ?

SR(t) = Δy/Δt/Y - (αΔk/Δt/k(t) + (1-α)(ΔL/Δt/L(t))

Here, α = 60%

So, labor's share = (1 - 0.6) × 5  = 2%

Capitals contribution = 0.4 × 5  = 2%

Implied rate of growth in technology is also given,

SR = (5) - (2+2)

= 1%

Hence, if capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.
