1 Constant PopulationConsider the following production function:Yt = F(Kt,Nt) = K1 2 t N1 2 tAssume that capital depreciates at rate δ and that savings is a constant proportion s of output:St = sYtAssume that investment is equal to savings:It = StFinally, assume that the population is constant:Nt = Nt+1 = L1. The production function above expresses output as a function of capital and labor (workers). Derive a function that expresses output per worker as a function of capital per worker (i.e. find yt = f(kt)).2. Write down the capital accumulation equation in terms of capital per worker (i.e. an equation with only kt+1, kt, δ, and s.3. Solve for the steady state level of capital per worker as a function of δ and s.4. Solve for the steady state level of output per worker as a function of δ and s.5. What is the steady state growth rate of output per worker?6. What is the steady state growth rate of output?2 Growing PopulationConsider the following production function:Yt = F(Kt,Nt) = (K1 2 t + N1 2 t )2Assume that capital depreciates 5% each year and that households save 5% of their income. Assume that investment is equal to savings. Finally, assume that the population is growing 15% each year.1Econ 320 - Growth Homework1. Solve for the steady state level of capital per worker as a function of δ and s.2. Solve for the steady state level of output per worker as a function of δ and s.3. What is the steady state growth rate of output per worker?4. What is the steady state growth rate of output?3 Technological GrowthSuppose that production is given byY = K1 2 (AN)1 2The savings rate is s = 0.16 and the rate of depreciation is δ = 0.1. Suppose further that the number of workers grows at 2% per year and that the rate of technological progress is 4% per year.1. Find the steady-state values of the the following variables: capital per effective worker, output per effective worker, the growth rate of output per effective worker, the growth rate of output per worker, and the growth rate of output.2. Suppose that the rate of technological progress doubles to 8% per year. Recompute your answers to part 1). Explain.3. Now suppose that rate of technological progress is still equal to 4% per year, but the number of workers now grows at 6% per year. Recompute your answers to part 1). Are people better off in situation 1) or 3)? Explain.

This assessment has two-parts. Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.PART I: DIAGNOSING ORGANIZATION-WIDE PERFORMANCE ISSUESRead the three documents included with this Assessment as follows:Read the entire The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement text and make detailed notes.Read the “Applying Process Tools & Frameworks to Improve Organizational Performance: A TOC Primer” document, as you read through The Goal text, to help you focus on fundamental concepts.Read the “Three-Questions Accounting” document after reading The Goal text.After reading and note taking, complete the following:Choose an organization with which you are very familiar with. It could be where you work now or have worked in the past. Provide some basic details about the organization. At minimum, the basic details should include: the industry and products/services the organization offers, the overall operational and financial health of the organization, and a qualitative or systems diagram summary of how the organization operates to fulfill its commitments to customers. (approximately 200 words)Note: If you have chosen a private organization you must disguise the names of the organization and the people associated with it.Choose a minimum of six specific passages from the book The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement that contain an essential idea or concept that you found compelling and that offer insights related to systemic problems in your organization. Provide these passages making sure to quote and use citations for each. Construct a well-reasoned argument for why you chose each passage and how each selected passage relates to your organization in terms of helping you diagnose organization-wide performance issues. Be specific and be sure to support your response with appropriate concepts from performance management and/or systems thinking. (approximately 400 words)Respond to the following questions. Remember to make specific reference to concepts from the documents and other relevant resources to support your reasoning.In your own organization what do you believe are the fundamental physical, policy, or market constraints that are preventing your organization from moving to the next level of performance? Be sure to clearly identify each primary constraint and provide a detailed argument and evidence for why you think each is a primary constraint to organizational performance. Be sure to support your response with appropriate concepts from performance management and/or systems thinking. ( 400 words).What do you believe are the root causes of these primary constraints? Why? Be sure to support your response with appropriate concepts from performance management and/or systems thinking. (approximately 200 words)PART II: DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS TO ORGANIZATION-WIDE PERFORMANCE ISSUESReview your responses to Part 1.Refer to all the three documents included with this Assessment, and to other relevant organizational-improvement knowledge as needed and complete the following.For each of the minimum of six specific passages from the book The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvementthat you chose in Part 1, provide an argument for how the passage helps you in developing potential solutions to organization-wide performance issues? What are potential solutions relative to the concepts you identified? Be specific. (approximately 400 words).Respond to the following prompts. Remember to make specific reference to concepts from the document resources and other relevant resources to support your reasoning.For each of the fundamental physical, policy, or market constraints that you identified as preventing your organization from moving to the next level of performance, provide a specific recommendation for how to elevate, support, and potentially eliminate the constraint. (approximately 400 words).Provide an overall argument as to how and why your recommendations address the root causes of the organization-wide performance issues you identified. (approximately 300 words).Using concepts from the Corbett document, “Three-Questions Accounting,” and associated resources related to metrics and TOC accounting measurements for each of your recommendations, show how the primary metrics of T, I, and OE would be affected and why the recommendations would make sense from a performance measurement perspective.

OverviewThis week’s readings and videos offered information related to health policy relation to diversity, economics and ethics. In this discussion board you will present information related to current health care reform and civil rights.Topics to include: What are the health care policies related to access, equity, quality, and cost? If you do not feel there are current health care policies related to access, equity, quality and cost, why not? What does health care reform mean to the uninsured, and underinsured? What is the implication of limited access to vulnerable populations? What can nursing do to help increase awareness of civil rights in health care Your initial post must be posted before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it. Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes are allowed in the discussion board posts.References: Initial Post: Minimum of two (2) total references: one (1) from required course materials and one (1) from peer-reviewed references. Words Limits Initial Post: Minimum 400 words excluding references (approximately one (1) page)
