You are asked to make comparisons of two pairs of countries. The first pair are the Latin American countries of Chile and Argent

ina; the second pair are France and Germany. You are given the following information:
The average saving rate in Argentina is 23.3 percent, in Chile it is 28.7percent, in France it is 21.1 percent, and in Germany, 20.8 percent.
(a) Assuming the countries are identical in every other way, which country would the Solow model predict to have the higher per capita real GDP?
(b) You find out the steady state real per capita GDP in each of the countries is $13, 300 in Argentina, $12, 500 in Chile, $31,300 in France, and $34,000 in Germany. What is the primary factor that the simple Solow model uses to describe these differences? Give an example

Answer:

Part a: According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

Part b: The per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

Explanation:

<em>Part a:</em>

According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

In Solow model the GDP per capita is defined as

                                           y=k^{\alpha}=f(k)

Also the steady state path is given as

sf(k)=(s+n)k\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*}{f(k^*)}\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*^{\alpha-1}}{k^*}\\\frac{s}{s+n}={k^*^{\alpha-2}}

As all other parameters are same thus the country with higher value of s will have a higher per capita GDP.

According to the Solow model, higher saving rate means larger capital stock and high level of output at the steady state.

Higher saving rate leads to faster growth in Solow model. So there is higher per capita real GDP for the country that has higher saving rate.

<em>Part b:</em>

In Simple Solow Model, the steady state per Capita GDP, y^* is the function of the steady state per capita capital stock given as k^*

Now this indicates that

y^*=f(k^*)

where f is an increasing concave function i.e. f'>0 and f''<0

Thus the sole dependence of per capita GDP is on per capita capital stock.

Thus the per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

Answer:

the Solow model will predict CHILE to have the higher per capita real GDP.

the primary factor that the simple Solow model use is CAPITAL. For example In 2018, capital investment was $3,652.2 billion for a capital contribution of 17.82%

Explanation: the solow model predict Chile to have higher per capital real GDP because Chile has the highest percentage of average saving rate among the four countries.

Capital is one of the factors in the growth accounting factor introduced by Robert solow in 1957.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) purchase Canadian dollar put options.

Explanation:

A sale option (or put option) gives its holder the right - but not the obligation - to sell an asset at a predetermined price until a specific date. The seller of the option to sell has the obligation to buy the underlying asset if the holder of the option (buyer of the right to sell) decides to exercise his right.

The purchase of put options is used as hedging, when price falls are anticipated in shares that are held, since by means of the purchase of Put the price is established from which money is earned. If the stock falls below that price, the investor earns money. If the share price falls, the profits obtained with the sale option compensate in whole or in part for the loss experienced by said fall.

Losses are limited to the premium (price paid for the purchase of the sale option). Earnings increase as the share price falls in the market.

The opportunity cost of running a business that does not involve cash outflow is a(an) ____________ .

Proof -

Profits equal total revenue minus TOTAL COST

.

The term EXPLICIT refers to costs that involve direct monetary payment by the firm.

AVERAGE VARIABLE COST is falling when marginal cost is below it and rising when marginal cost is above it.

The cost of producing an extra unit of output is the MARGINAL COST.

AVERAGE FIXED COST is always falling as the quantity of output increases.

The opportunity cost of running a business that does not involve cash outflow is a(an) IMPLICIT COST.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

left; rises

Explanation:

Bonds and Stocks are different options for investment. When stock prices becomes volatile, People will become more interested to put their investment ins stocks. This will make the amount of people who invested in bonds decreased, hence causing the demand for bonds shift to the less.

Since the demand decreased, the issuer of the bond need to do something to attack investors to purchase it. This is why they will increase the interest rates for their bonds. Higher interest = more profit for the bond purchaser.

When the formal regime in the country of Zoalia collapsed, the growth of many entrepreneurial firms was facilitated by informal
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The answer is D) informal constraints increasing uncertainty for managers and firms in situations where formal constraints  are unclear.

Explanation:

When you don´t have formal restraints and the same rules that apply for all, uncertainty among managers and their firms will increase.

This is a clear example of corruption taking place in a country where formal institutions or governments have collapsed or have been overthrown and the "new leaders" benefit from the situation. In this case the companies or firms which are "friendly" to the new government will flourish because no formal institutions or constraints remain. Instead they are replaced by informal constraints setup to favor specific firms and companies. That means that the "new leaders" may establish new rules for the companies or firms to follow at their will in order to favor whoever they want.

This may benefit the "new leaders" and their "friends" but it hurts all the other companies and firms. In order for a company to keep on doing business as usual, or get a new contract or license, it will probably need to become friends with the new regime and that usually means payments and other types of bribes.
