Economic Analysis: Production Function, Labor, and Capital Stock

This assignment explores the concepts of production functions, labor markets, and capital stock within an economic framework. It begins by analyzing a Cobb-Douglas production function, calculating aggregate output, output per worker, the marginal product of labor, and the real wage under perfect competition. It then examines the impact of depreciation and calculates the total income to capital and the rate of return. The assignment further delves into a closed economy scenario, where domestic investment equals domestic savings, and each worker saves a fixed fraction of their gross income. It derives an equation to model the development of the capital stock per worker, considering the depreciation rate and savings rate, providing a comprehensive analysis of economic equilibrium and growth dynamics.
