In a Lewis-economy, labor demand curve is given by W=K-2L
In year 1, K (capital stock) is 15. Essentially an unlimited supply of labor is available at a wage of 5.
Capitalists save 60% of their income and invest. There is no depreciation.
In year 1:
A. How much do the works as a while earn?
B. How much do the capitalists earn?
C. What is the national income (only in the industrial sector)?
In year 2, when 60% of capitalists income from year 1 is invested:
A. How much do the works as a while earn?
B. How much do the capitalists earn?
C. Do you think the Lewis development model is moving in the correct direction in this case?
