Q

Testbara prediktioner 1

A

r=1/3(Y/K) -> (rK)/Y*=1/3

w=2/3/Y/L) -> (wL/Y*)=2/3

Q

Testbara prediktioner 2 - Lbar decrease

A

r=1/3Abar(Lbar/Kbar)^2/3 -> r decrease

w=2/3Abar(Kbar/Lbar)^1/3 -> w increase

Q

Testbara prediktioner 3 - y*

A

GDP/cap: y* = Y/L = (AbarKbar^1/3Lbar^2/3)/(Lbar^1/3*Lbar^2/3) = Abarkbar^1/3

  • Skillnader i GDP/cap beror på TFP och kapital/cap
  • TFP förklarar ca 75% och kap/cap ca 25% av skillnader i GDP/cap
