Assignment 4 QMT732 November 2014 Question 1 a) Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function: log Yi log 1 2 log X 2i 3 log X 3i ui where Y= Output‚ X 2 = Labour input‚ X 3 = Capital input‚ u = stochastic disturbance term. Show that 2 and 3 give output elasticities of labour and capital. [Hint: just recall the definition of the elasticity coefficient and remember that a change in the logarithm of a variable is a relative change‚ assuming the changes are rather small] (7 marks)

A stochastic Cobb-Douglas production frontier model is used to generate football club efficiency scores.We conclude that the price of labour‚ the price of capital players the price of capital stadium‚ points gained‚ attendance‚ and turnover all play a major role in football efficiency and find that the efficiency scores are mixed.

CHAPTER 3 National Income: Where It Comes From and Where It Goes Questions for Review 1. The factors of production and the production technology determine the amount of output an economy can produce. The factors of production are the inputs used to produce goods and services: the most important factors are capital and labor. The production technology determines how much output can be produced from any given amounts of these inputs. An increase in one of the factors of production or

Problem Set # 3 Solutions Chapter 7 #2 a) The production function in the Solow growth model is Y = f(K‚L)‚ or expressed in terms of output per worker‚ y = f(k). If a war reduces the labor force through casualties‚ the L falls but Capital-labor ratio k = K/L rises. The production function tells us that total output falls because there are fewer workers. Output per worker increases‚ however‚ since each worker has more capital. b) The reduction in the labor force means that the capital stock

their cost of goods sold‚ their capital expenditure and their labour expenditure for the past 10 years. After that we ran a regression test so as to find out if the industry has received increasing or decreasing or negative returns to scale. Cobb-Douglas production function Q= a*(L^b)*(K*c) where Q= output‚ L= labour‚ K= Capital and b+c= 1 and if b+c=1…… Constant returns to scale b+c>1……………..Increasing returns to scale

“Countries grow at different rates because they accumulate capital at different rates.” Is this true? Explain your answer. Since the Industrial Revolution‚ economists have attempted to explain why certain countries economies grow at greater rates than others. The post-Keynesian era saw the introduction of the Harrod-Domar model of economic growth. This model explained an economy’s growth rate by observing the level of saving and productivity of capital in the economy. The neo-classical Solow-Swann
