Macroeconomic Analysis (Econ 7040)
Tutorial 4: Endogenous Growth model
1. Let’s now make the evolution of technology endogenous. Assume that Y (t) = A(t)(1 — aL )L(t),
and
A˙ (t) = B[aLL(t)]V A(t)e, B > 0,V 0
where A˙ (t) = is the time derivative of A or the rate of change of A.
(a) Assume that a = 1. Is there a long-run growth rate of knowledge (A) in this economy (balanced growth path)? under what conditions?
(b) Use the condition derived before for the exitence of a balanced growth path and derive the long-run growth rate of knowledge (A) and GDP per-capita (y).
(c) Analyze the efect of an increase in aL (assume that the condition for the existence of balanced growth path is met). What is the new long-run equilibrium? how does the the economy transit (converge) to the new balanced growth path?
(d) Answer the previous question but now assuming that a < 1. What is the new long-run equilibrium (with higher aL )? how does the economy evolves in the short run?
