Consider the Solow growth model with government spending but without technological progress. Output \( Y \) is produced according to the production function \[ Y=F(K, L)=\sqrt[3]{K} \cdot \sqrt[3]{L^{2}} \] where \( K \) is the capital stock and \( L \) is the labour force. Labour force is equal to employment and total population and grows at the rate \( n \). Capital depreciates at the rate \( \delta \). The government spends ('consumes') resources without contributing to production or capital accumulation. Government purchases, \( G \), are financed with proportional income taxation. The government budget in per capita terms is balanced, \[ g=\tau y \] where \( y \equiv Y / L \) and \( g \equiv G / L \) are output and government purchases per capita, and \( \tau \in[0,1) \) denotes the proportional tax rate. Investment \( I \) and consumption \( C \) absorb, correspondingly, constant fractions \( s \) and \( (1-s) \) of disposable income. (a) [5 marks] Show that the function \( F(K, L) \) has constant returns to scale and diminishing marginal returns to capital.
