(4 points) suppose the production function in the solow model is given by yt = ak¯ 3/4 t l 1/4 t . (a) what are the five equations and five unknowns that summarize the solow model? (b) show the transition dynamics in the solow model if ¯sy0 < ¯dk0. make sure you label the axes, curves, initial level of capital and steady-state level of capital. (c) solve for capital, output, capital per person, and output per person in the steady state. (d) if a¯ = 2, l¯ = 4, ¯s = 0.2, and ¯d = 0.05, calculate the steady-state level of capital and output per person.
