宏观经济学-课后思考题答案_史蒂芬威廉森006

Chapter 6Economic Growth: Malthus and SolowTeaching GoalsStudents easily take for granted the much more abundant standard of living of today as opposed to 20, 50, or 100 years ago. Sometimes it is easier to remind students of what their ancestors had to do without, rather than simply referring to per capita income levels over time. Recessions come and go, and yet economic growth swamps the lost output we endure during hard times.The typical student begins study of economic growth against the backdrop of the recent growth experience of the United States. The current standard of living in the United States vastly surpasses the current standard of living in most countries and would have been unimaginable anywhere in the world before the advent of the industrial revolution. Until about 1800, the world economy produced little more than a subsistence level of income for any but the richest individuals. Growth in per capita income was nonexistent. The Malthusian model of growth explains the tendency of increases in population to dilute any gains in productivity.The industrial revolution introduced the possibility of sustained growth in per capita income through the accumulation of physical capital. However, growth experience has varied widely around the world. The richer countries have a sustained record of growth. Per capita income in the United States has proceeded at an average rate of about 2% per year. While 2% growth may seem small, it is important for students to realize that such growth transforms into a more than doubling of per capita GDP per generation. Unfortunately, the poorer countries have remained poor. Furthermore, their growth rates have not generally matched growth rates in the richer countries, so that the poor countries fall farther and farther behind. Such differences in standards of living and growth prospects present puzzles that the study of economic growth hopes to solve.Classroom Discussion TopicsGetting students to relate to differences in standards of living can sometimes be difficult. It is easy to take one’s own standard of living for granted. An interesting discussion topic is whether students would be willing to travel back in time to 100 or 200 years ago, if they could be one of the richest people of those earlier times. Would the tradeoff be worthwhile? While students typically stress factors like antiquated view about freedom of choice, and racial and gender issues, try to encourage students to divide their concerns into those that are more economic as opposed to social. Also point out that higher standards of living allow societies to be more concerned about issues of equality when mere survival is no longer precarious.Chapter 6 Economic Growth: Malthus and Solow 53Students often view population growth as the result of cultural factors and personal preferences. Against the abundance of daily living, it is easy to forget economic factors. Ask the students for examples ofeconomic factors that might impact on fertility decisions. The Malthusian model suggests that growth may only be achieved through population control. In the modern economy, the costs of raising children can be formidable, and so there is tendency for such costs to be a disincentive to fertility. Such costs may attribute to the tendency for low fertility rates in advanced economies. In more primitive societies, having a large family can be a private form of Social Security. The more children a family has, the more family members there will be to provide for the parents in old age. Poor public health conditions may actually enhance fertility. If each child has a small chance for survival to adulthood, more births are required to produce a given-sized family.OutlineI. Economic Growth FactsA.

In exogenous growth models, growth is caused in the model by forces not explained by the modelitself. Endogenous growth models examine the economic factors that cause growth.2. Pre-1800: Constant Per Capita Income across Time and SpacePost-1800: Sustained Growth in the Rich CountriesHigh Investment ↔ High Standard of LivingHigh Population Growth ↔ Low Standard of LivingDivergence of Per Capita Incomes: 1800–1950No Conditional Convergence amongst All CountriesConditional Convergence amongst the Rich Countries3. An increase in total factor productivity increases the size of the population, but has no effect on theequilibrium level of consumption per capita.4. Only a downward shift in the population growth function can increase the standard of living.5. Malthu’s model is quite successful in explaining economic growth prior to the industrial revolution.Malthu’s model has little relevance for more recent growth experience.6. In the steady state, all variables stay constant: per capita capital, output, consumption, savings. Also,this steady state is stable: whatever the initial capital (except zero), the economy will converge to this steady state.7. With an increase in the saving rate, it becomes possible to sustain a higher level of per capita capital,and thus higher output and consumption. With an increase in the population rate, the contraryhappens, as one needs to provide more newborns with the going per capita capital. A higher total factor productivity improves all per capita variables in the steady state.8. To maximize steady-state per capita consumption, the saving rate must be such that the marginalproduct of capital (the slope of the per capita production function) equals the population growth rate plus the depreciation rate.9. The Malthusian model gave no way out of misery, except for measures that reduce the population.Even technological advances would not raise the standard of living. The Solow model shows that it is possible to obtain a stable standard of living with growing population. And if total factor productivity increases, one can even obtain improvements in the standard of living despite population growth.Chapter 6 Economic Growth: Malthus and Solow 55 10. The Cobb-Douglas production function permits a simple decomposition of economic growth into itscomponent sources.11. In a competitive equilibrium, the parameter a is equal to the share of capital income in total income.12. The Solow residual measures increases in real GDP that are not accounted for by increases in capitaland labor. The Solow residual is highly procyclical as it explains the great majority of the cyclical component in GDP.13. The productivity slowdown could be explained by underestimates of output in the growing servicessector, increases in the relative price of energy, and the costs of adopting new technologies.14. American workers then knew how to incorporate the new technologies, in particular informationtechnology. These efficiency gains may have been realized by 2000, which explains the newslowdown, along with higher energy prices.15. Growth in capital, employment, and total factor productivity account for growth in GDP.16. During this period, growth in these countries was much larger than average. Growth rates for thesecountries were about three times as fast as growth in the United States. However, most of this growth can be attributed to increases in the capital stocks in these countries, and such rapid rates of growth of capital cannot be sustained for long periods of time.Problems1. The amount of land increases, and, at first, the size of the population is unchanged. Therefore,consumption per capita increases. However, the increase in consumption per capita increases the population growth rate, see the figure below. In the steady state, neither *c nor *l are affected by the initial increase in land. This fact can be discerned by noting that there will be no changes in either of the panels of Figure 6.8 in the textbook.56 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition2. A reduction in the death rate increases the number of survivors from the current period who will stillbe living in the future. Therefore, such a technological change in public health shifts the function ()g cupward. In problem #1 there were no effects on the levels of land per capita and consumption per capita. In this case, the ()g c function in the bottom figure below shifts upward. Equilibriumconsumption per capita decreases. From the top figure below, we also see that the decrease inconsumption per capita requires a reduction in the equilibrium level of land per capita. The size of the population has increased, but the amount of available land is unchanged.Chapter 6 Economic Growth: Malthus and Solow 57 3. For the marginal product of capital to increase at every level of capital, the shift in the productionfunction is equivalent to an increase in total factor productivity.(a) The original and new production functions are depicted in the figures below.(b) Equilibrium in the Solow model is at the intersection of ()n d k+szf k with the line segment ().The old and new equilibria are depicted in the bottom panel of the figure above. The newequilibrium is at a higher level of capital per capita and a higher level of output per capita.(c) For a given savings rate, more effective capital implies more savings, and in the steady state thereis more capital and more output. However, if the increase in the marginal product of capital were local, in the neighborhood of the original equilibrium, there would be no equilibrium effects. A twisting of the production function around its initial point does not alter the intersection point.4. An increase in the depreciation rate acts in much the same way as an increase in the populationgrowth rate. More of current savings is required just to keep the amount of capital per capita constant.In equilibrium output per capita and capital per capita decrease.58 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition5. A destruction of capital.(a) The long-run equilibrium is not changed by an alteration of the initial conditions. If the economystarted in a steady state, the economy will return to the same steady state. If the economy wereinitially below the steady state, the approach to the steady state will be delayed by the loss ofcapital.(b) Initially, the growth rate of the capital stock will exceed the growth rate of the labor force. Thefaster growth rate in capital continues until the steady state is reached.(c) The rapid growth rates are consistent with the Solow model’s predictions about the likelyadjustment to a loss of capital.6. A reduction in total factor productivity reduces the marginal product of capital. The golden rule levelof capital per capita equates the marginal product of capital with .n d + Therefore, for given ,n d + the golden rule amount of capital per capita must decrease as in the figure below. Therefore the golden rule savings rate must decrease.7. Government spending in the Solow model.(a) By assumption, we know that T = G, and so we may write:()(1)(1)K's Y G d K sY gN d K =−+−=−+−Now divide by N and rearrange as:(1)()(1)k'n szf k sg d k +=−+−Divide by (1 + n ) to obtain:()(1)(1)(1)(1)szf k sg d k k'n n n −=−++++Chapter 6 Economic Growth: Malthus and Solow 59Setting k = k ′, we find that:**()().szf k sg n d k =++This equilibrium condition is depicted in the figure below.(b) The two steady states are also depicted in the figure above.(c) The effects of an increase in g are depicted in the bottom panel of the figure above. Capital percapita declines in the steady state. Steady-state growth rates of aggregate output, aggregate consumption, and investment are all unchanged. The reduction in capital per capita isaccomplished through a temporary reduction in the growth rate of capital.8. The golden rule quantity of capital per capita, *,k is such that *().K MP zf k n d ′==+ A decrease in the population growth rate, n , requires a decrease in the marginal product of capital. Therefore, thegolden rule quantity of capital per capita must increase. The golden rule savings rate may either increase or decrease.60 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Third Edition9. (a) First, we need to determine how bN evolves over time:(bN )′ = (1 + f )(1 + n ) bNThen we just need to redo the analysis of the competitive equilibrium and the steady state as inthe book, replacing every N by bN , every (1 + n ) by (1 + f )(1 + n ), and every n by f + n . The new steady-state per efficiency unit capital is then******()(1)(1)(1)(1)(1)szf k d k k f n f n −=+++++ All aggregate variables then grow at the rate of f + n , while per capita aggregates grow at therate f .(b) An increase in f increases the growth rate of per capita income by the same amount, as f is itsgrowth rate. This happens because the exogenous growth in b raises instant capital and income for everyone without a need to invest in capital.10. Production linear in capital:()()Y K z zf k f k k N N==⇒= (a) Recall Equation (20) from the text, and replace ()f k with k to obtain:+−=+((1))(1)sz d k'k n Also recall that 11 and .Y Y Y'zk k k'N z N z N'=⇒== Therefore: ((1))(1)Y'sz d Y N'n N+−=+ As long as((1))1,(1)sz d n +−>+ per capita income grows indefinitely. (b) The growth rate of income per capita is therefore: ((1))1(1)()(1)Y'Y sz d N'N g Y n Nsz n d n −+−==−+−+=+ Obviously, g is increasing in s .(c) This model allows for the possibility of an ever-increasing amount of capital per capita. In theSolow model, the fact that the marginal product of capital is declining in capital is the key impediment to continual increases in the amount of capital per capita.Chapter 6 Economic Growth: Malthus and Solow 6111.

斯蒂芬·威廉森-宏观经济学第五版答案chapter5

Chapter 5A Closed-Economy One-PeriodMacroeconomic Model⏹Teaching GoalsThere are three key points to be learned from this chapter. The first point is that when we allow the consumers and firms that we studied in Chapter 4 to interact with each other and with the government, the economy is able to achieve equilibrium through price adjustment. In this particular case, the “price” is the relative price of leisure, the real wage. The second important point is that the equilibrium that markets settle upon is a favorable one, in the sense of Pareto optimality. This point is in keeping with Adam Smith’s notion that the “invisible hand” of self-interested individuals, meeting in a competitive market, can work for the common good. The third point is that we can directly discover the equilibrium position of a market economy by solving an economic planner problem. Although students may find this point to be somewhat arcane, stress the point that it will be much simpler to solve problems (e.g., exam problems) by working with a planner problem as opposed to directly solving general equilibrium problems. The students, however, need to be aware when this solution method is not applicable. The section about the Laffer curve is a good way to show when social and private optima do not coincide.Once students have mastered the mechanics of the model, the two problems for which this model is best suited are the analyses of changes in government spending and total factor productivity. In working these problems, stress the applicability of these results to historical applications and as a guide to understanding current events.A key tactic of the textbook’s approach is the critical assessment of the usefulness and credibility of competing models. Therefore, it is important to stress the extent to which models fit the facts. Does this model fit the facts of long-run growth? Does this model fit the facts of the typical business cycle? These kinds of questions come up again and again in the course of macroeconomic study. Stress again and again that scientific study needs to relate to observations, in our case the stylized facts of Chapter 2.⏹Classroom Discussion TopicsAn alternative approach to this material is to start with the example of Robinson Crusoe (or Castaway, Gilligan’s Island, etc.). Does an isolated individual have any economic choices? What would guide these choices? Would you rather be on an island with a more plentiful food supply? A pure income effect can then be presented in the form of extra food (or a volleyball) washing up on shore, or in the form of “pirates” (government?) demanding tribute. An increase in total factor productivity can be in the form of obtaining a fishing net or a ladder to climb coconut trees. A change in capital can be the consequence of a hurricane, etc. The next step would be to ask the students about the likely consequences of additional individuals on the island. If they are all identical, and there are no economies to team production, will there be any reason for markets to exist? Could a market improve things? How and why? Typically, markets improve things onlyChapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 39 to the extent that people are different. However, these types of differences are what we are willing toignore when we adopt the fiction of a representative consumer.OutlineI. Competitive EquilibriumA. A One-Period Model1.

Although we often think about the negative externalities of congestion and pollution in cities, theremay also be some positive externalities. A concentrated population is better able to support the arts and professional sports; cities typically have a greater variety of good restaurants, etc. Perhaps a more basic issue is that there may be some increasing returns to scale at low output levels that makeindustrial production more costly in small towns. There may also be externalities in production in being located close to other producers. One example would be the financial industry in financialcenters like New York, London, Tokyo, etc. Another example would be large city medical centers that enhance coordination between primary physicians and specialists.One market test of whether productivity is higher in cities would be to look at the wages in cities versus the wages in smaller towns and rural areas. Wages are often higher in cities for individuals of comparable skills. Market efficiency suggests that the higher wages be reflective of a higher marginal product of labor, and that the higher wages compensate those choosing to live in cities for thenegative externalities that they face.2. In a one period model, taxes must be exactly equal to government spending. A reduction in taxes istherefore equivalent to a reduction in government spending. The result is exactly opposite of the case of an increase in government spending that is presented in the text. A reduction in governmentspending induces a pure income effect that induces the consumer to consume more and work less. At lower employment, the equilibrium real wage is higher because the marginal product of labor rises when employment falls. Output falls, consumption rises, employment falls and the real wage rises. 3. The only impact effect of this disturbance is to lower the capital stock. Therefore, the productionpossibility frontier shifts down and the marginal product of labor falls (PPF is flatter).(a) The reduction in the capital stock is depicted in the figure below. The economy starts at point Aon PPF1. The reduction in the capital stock shifts the production possibilities frontier to PPF2.Because PPF2 is flatter, there is a substitution effect that moves the consumer to point D. Theconsumer consumes less of the consumption good and consumes more leisure. Less leisure alsomeans that the consumer works more. Because the production possibilities frontier shifts down,there is also an income effect. The income effect implies less consumption and less leisure (more work). On net, consumption must fall, but leisure could decrease, remain the same, or increase,depending on the relative strengths of the income and substitution effect. The real wage must also fall. To see this, we must remember that, in equilibrium, the real wage must equal the marginalrate of substitution. The substitution effect implies a lower marginal rate of substitution. Theincome effect is a parallel shift in the production possibilities frontier. As the income effectincreases the amount of employment, marginal product of labor must fall from point D topoint B. This reinforces the reduction in the marginal rate of substitution from point A to point D.42 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Fifth Edition(b) Changes in the capital stock are not likely candidates for the source of the typical businesscycle. While it is easy to construct examples of precipitous declines in capital, it is more difficult to imagine sudden increases in the capital stock. The capital stock usually trends upward, and this upward trend is important for economic growth. However, the amount of new capital generatedby a higher level of investment over the course of a few quarters, of a few years, is very small in comparison to the existing stock of capital. On the other hand, a natural disaster that decreasesthe stock of capital implies lower output and consumption, and also implies lower real wages,which are all features of the typical business cycle contraction.4. Government Productivity. First consider the benchmark case in which 1,z = and there is no effect ofchanges in z on government activities. Now suppose that z increases. This case of an increase in z is depicted in the figure below. The original production possibilities frontier is labeled PPF 1 and the competitive equilibrium is at point A. If the increase in z only affects the economy through thechange in (,),zF K N then the new production possibilities frontier is PPF 2. The diagram shows a case in which the income and substitution effects on leisure exactly cancel out, and the economy moves to point B. The equation for the production possibilities frontier is (,).C zF K h l T =−− In the benchmark case, T G = and so we have (,).C zF K h l G =−− For this problem, /,T G z = and so the production possibilities frontier is given by (,)/.C zF K h l G z =−− When 1,z = the two PPFscoincide. When z increases, the vertical intercept of the PPF increases by /.G z ∆ Therefore, the new PPF is PPF 3 in the figure below. The competitive equilibrium is at point C . There is an additional income effect that provides an additional increase in equilibrium consumption, and a reinforcedincome effect that tend to make leisure increase. Therefore, relative to the benchmark case, there is a larger increase in consumption, and either a smaller decrease in leisure or a larger increase in leisure.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 435. Change in preferences.(a) At the margin, the consumer decides that leisure is more preferred to consumption. That is, theconsumer now requires a bigger increase in consumption to willingly work more (consume less leisure). In more intuitive language, the consumer is lazier.(b) To work out the effects of this change in tastes, we refer to the figure below. The productionpossibility frontier in this example is unchanged. The consumer now picks a new point at which one of the flatter indifference curves is tangent to the production possibilities frontier. That is,equilibrium will shift from point A to point B. Consumption falls and leisure rises. Therefore, the consumer works less and produces less. Because employment has fallen, it also must be the case that the real wage increases.44 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Fifth Edition(c) This disturbance, which some might characterize as a contagious outbreak of laziness, wouldhave the appearance of a recession, as output and employment both fall. The consequentreduction in consumption is also consistent with a typical recession. However, in this case thereal wage would rise, which is inconsistent with the business cycle facts. Therefore, this type of preference change is not a cause of recessions.6. Production-enhancing aspects of government spending.(a) The increase in government spending in this example has two separate effects on the productionpossibilities frontier. First, the increase in government spending from G1 to G2 implies a parallel downward shift in the production possibilities frontier. Second, the productive nature ofgovernment spending is equivalent to an increase in total factor productivity that shifts theproduction possibilities frontier upward and increases its slope. The figure below draws theoriginal production possibilities frontier as PPF1 and the new production possibilities frontier as PPF2. If the production-enhancing aspects of the increase in government spending are largeenough, representative consumer utility could rise, as in this figure.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 45(b) There are three effects at work in this example. First, there is a negative income effect from theincrease in taxes needed to pay for the increased government spending. This effect tends to lower both consumption and leisure. Second, there is a substitution effect due to the productive effect of the increase in G, which is drawn as the movement from point A to point D. This effect tends to increase both consumption and leisure. Third, there is a positive income effect from the increase in G on productivity. This effect tends to increase both consumption and leisure. In the figure above, the movement from point D to point B is the net effect of the two income effects. Ingeneral, consumption may rise or fall, and leisure may rise or fall. The overall effect on output is the same as in any increase in total factor productivity. Output surely rises.46 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Fifth Edition7. (a) If households dedicate a hours to education today, it reduces the hours available for leisure andwork to h−a. The PPF has to start form point (−G, h−a). Graphically, this corresponds to thefigure in the answer of question 6(b). The consequence is thus a reduction in consumption,leisure, employment, aggregate output, but an increase in the real wage.(b) In the future, workers will be more efficient, which corresponds to an increase in total factorproductivity. Thus we have the case described in Figure 5.9 of the textbook. There is an increase in future consumption, aggregate output and the real wage. Changes in employment and leisureare ambiguous.(c) An increase in education leads to an immediate loss in welfare, as both leisure and consumptionare reduced. But this is compensated by an increase in future consumption, and possibly ofleisure, too. Whether this is worth doing depends on the preferences of households over currentand future utility.8. We need to analyze each case separately. Start with the good equilibrium. As government expensesincrease, more tax revenue needs to be raised, and thus the tax rate needs to be increased. As shown in the figure below, this tilts down the linear PPF. The new equilibrium leads to a lower indifferencecurve. This leads to a negative income effect and a lower wage (remember, it is z(1 − t)), thus asubstitution effect. The income effect lowers consumption and leisure, the substitution effectdecreases consumption and increases leisure. All in all, consumption is lower and leisure is higher, as we know that the substitution effect dominates the income effect. This means that the labor supply is reduced, and thus equilibrium labor and output.The story is different in the bad equilibrium. To increase tax revenue, one needs to reduce the tax rate. Then all the changes discussed above are exactly in the opposite direction.9. We know from previous analysis that an improvement in total factor productivity pushes up the PPF,and thus leads to an increase in consumption, a decrease in leisure, and thus an increase in thequantity of labor supplied. This increases the tax base, and thus allows a reduced tax rate to achieve the same tax revenue, or in other words, it pushes the left portion of the Laffer curve to the left. The reduction in the tax rate has then a further impact on the variables of interest: as we saw in question 7, first part with a reversal of all signs: consumption increases even more and leisure decrease yet more, leading to an even higher quantity of labor. All in all, as both labor and total factor productivityincrease, output increases.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 47 10. a) With perfect substitutes preferences, indifference curves are straight lines with slope –b, where b is the marginal rate of substitution. If b > 1/q, so that the indifference curves are steeper than the PPF, then the optimal choice for the government is G=qY, so that C = 0. Thus if b is relatively large (the consumer cares relatively more about public goods relative to private goods) and q is relatively large (the government is relatively efficient), then all production should be carried on by the government. Alternatively if b < 1/q, then G = 0 and C = Y, so that government is inactive. Thus, if b increases or q increases, this makes it more likely that b > 1/q and we have the first case, where all production comes from the government.b) With perfect complements, indifference curves are as depicted in Figure 10.1, and the initial equilibrium is at point A. If a increases, then the equilibrium shifts from A to B in Figure 10.2. An increase in a represents a greater preference for private goods relative to public goods, and in Figure 10.2, this results in less public goods and more private consumption in equilibrium. If q increases, this shifts the PPF out as in Figure 10.3, and the equilibrium shifts from A to B. Both C and G increase, driven by income effects.Figure 10.1Figure 10.248 Williamson • Macroeconomics, Fifth Edition ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc.Figure 10.311. (a) If public goods and private goods are perfect substitutes, then the consumer always chooses C and l so that C = dl , and so given the production possibilities frontier, we must haveC C h G d =−− and so()1d h G C d −=+ and 1h G l d −=+ Therefore, consumption and leisure both decrease when government spending increases – a pure incomeeffect.(b) However, suppose that public goods and private goods are perfect complements. As in part (a), it is always optimal for the consumer to choose C and l so that C = dl. But the consumer faces a tax T = G , and the wage is w=1. So, if the consumer chooses the C = dl and the budget constraint is satisfied, then ()1d h G C d −=+ and1h G l d −=+,just as in part (a). This is the only optimum if,C aG ≤orChapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 49 ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc.(1)dh G a d d ≥++ But, if (1)dh G a d d≤++ Then, it is optimal for the consumer to chooseC aG = and aG l d=. In this case, the consumption bundle of the consumer actually lies inside the production possibilitiesfrontier, and government spending has a Keynesian effect. More government spending implies greater consumption.。

总结:投资与未来利润的预期现值正向变动(每一 单位资本)。当前或者预期利润越高,预期现值就 越高,从而投资水平越高;当前或者预期实际利 率越高,预期现值就越低,从而投资水平越低。 公司对投资现值的计算与为股票基础价值进行的 现值计算非常类似。这个关系最初是出耶鲁大学 的(J.Tobins)发展起来的,他认为投资与股票 市场价值之间确实应该有非常紧密的关系。

GDP Using the Expenditure Approach
GDP Using the Product Approach Value added—corn Value added—pigs Value added—government GDP £20 million £18 million £5.5 million £43.5 million
GDP is the sum of value added to goods and services in production across all productive units in the economy We need to subtract intermediate goods to avoid double counting Value added for the government is problematic: usually set to the cost of the inputs since we don’t have market prices for most goods produced by the government
Produces 10 million bushels of corn which are sold for £2 per bushel From these 6 million bushels are sold to the pig producer and 4 million to consumers Pays wages of £5 million to workers (who are the consumers) Pays £0.5 million in interest on a loan (to some consumers) Pays £1.5 million in taxes to the government
Income approach
Adds up all incomes received by economic agents contributing to production
NOTE: All three measures must add up to the same value (up to measurement error of course)
