What is y=F(k, 1) = f(k)? And explain how to get to this formula.
Output per unit of effective labour depends on the quantity of capital per unit of effective labor. Demonstrate CRS then set c=1/AL

What does The Solow Model assume about f'(k)?
f'(k) > 0. MPK declines if capital per unit of effective labour rises.
3 of 10
What does The Solow Model assume about f ''(k)?
If f''(k) = infinity. k tends to 0. MPK increases when the capital stock declines.
4 of 10
How do L and A grow?
L(t) = L(0)e^nt. A(t) = A(o)g^gt. At an exponential constant rate.
5 of 10
How does capital grow?
k(t) = sf(k(t)) - [n+g+delta]k(t). Change in capital stock is the difference in the investment per unit of effective worker and the break even investment.
6 of 10
What are the limits of the model?
Exogenous saving (saving rate could be negative in low incomes), exogenous population (more kids - opportunity cost & quantity quality trade off), exogenous tech change.

Explain unconditional convergence
All countries converge to the same steady state of per income capita with A, s, n and delta all being the same. Initial level of capital is not taken into account
8 of 10
Explain conditional convergence
Countries converge to their own steady state which can differ from another countries. Info is free flowing so A is the same but all other parameters can differ.
9 of 10
In the theory of conditional convergence do poor countries grow faster?
Taking the initial level of per capita income into account no. Poor countries converge to a lower steady state level and at a slower rate.
