DSE 2013, Q59 series 1

shar311
The next FIVE questions are based on the following information: Consider an economy where aggregate output is produced by using two factors: capital (K) and labour (L). Aggregate production technology is given by the following production function:
Yt=αKt+βLt, whereα,β>0.
At every point of time both factors are fully employed; each worker is paid a wage rate β and each unit of capital is paid a rental price α. A constant proportion s of total output is saved and invested in every period - which augments the capital stock in the next period (no depreciation of capital). Labour force grows at a constant rate n.

Answer of Q58 The dynamic equation for capital accumulation per worker is given by (b) dk/dt =sαkt +sβ−nkt

Q59. Let α=1/2;β=12;s=1/4;n=1/2. The corresponding steady state value of capital per worker is given by:
a. 8
b. 36
c. 4^(1/11)
d. There does not exist any well defined steady state value


Do we have to integrate the expression obtained in 58?

In steady state the growth of capital is zero i.e. there is no growth in the capital stock this means dkt/dt = 0. Solve the equation now
