Economics
Assume that the sum of population growth and
the depreciation rate is equal to
the saving rate. Are there steady states? If yes,
what are the steady states capital per
person?
Please be simple with the terms
Suppose you add a variable rate of population growth to a two-sector model of growth.
Draw and properly label a graph on how the production function, investment requirement line, and saving line look like.
Does the addition of the variable rate of population growth to this model help you explain anything that a simpler two-sector model with a fixed rate of growth, or a one sector model with variable population growth, cannot? Expound.
