Answer to Question 1

Dead capital means a capital resource without a clearly defined owner. Although dead capital is often used in production the lack of clearly defined title of ownership typically leads to inefficient use of the resource. The inefficient use of dead capital reduces the rate of return on investments and thus the incentive to increase investment in capital goods are reduced. Lower levels of capital investment diminish the rate of economic growth.
