Discuss whether, to what extent, and why the following are true or false. (Adapted from Ray ch. 3, exercise 8.)
a. The Harrod-Domar model predicts that a country’s long-run per capita growth rate depends on its rate of savings, whereas the Solow model predicts that it does not.
b. According to both the Harrod-Domar and Solow models, if total factor productivity (i.e. A) is higher in one country than in another, the country with the higher productivity will see faster long-run growth in GDP per capita.
c. The Solow model predicts that a change in the population growth rate affects neither the long-run growth rate of GDP nor the long-run growth rate of GDP per capita.
d. In the Solow model, output per capita (y) goes down as capital per capita (k) increases, because of diminishing returns.
e. Both the Solow and the Harrod-Domar model point to the inadequacy of GDP per capita (i.e. y) as a measure of well-being

Calculate the change in internal energy
: The standard enthalpy of formation of H2O(l) at 298 K is 285.8 kJ/mol. Calculate the change in internal energy for the following process at 298 K and 1 atm: H2O(l) yields H2(g)+12 O2(g);

Compare the effectiveness-increase in savings rate
: Consider a country in which Y = 200 K2/5N 3/5. Assume in this country they save 20% of their income, population grows at 3% per year, and depreciation of capital occurs at 10% per year. Use the Solow model. Compare the effectiveness of i) a 50% incre..

Amount of heat is necessary to synthesize
: The enthalpy change of reaction for the balanced equation (with lowest whole-number coefficients) is H 67.7 kJ. If 2.50 102 mL of N2(g) at 100.C and 3.50 atm and 4.50 102 mL of O2(g) at 100.C and 3.50 atm are mixed, what amount of heat is..
