Consider two competitive economies that have the same quantities of labor (L = 400) and capital (K = 400), and the same technology (A = 100). The economies of the countries are described by the following Cobb–Douglas production functions:
North Economy:Y =A L0.3K0.7
South Economy:Y = A L0.7K0.3
In which economy is the marginal product of labor larger? Explain.
