We presented two versions of the Solow growth model. (1) In the simple version, there is no technological progress. Show in this simple version that at the steady state output per worker (GDP per worker) depends positively on the saving rate, and negatively on the population growth rate. What’s the growth rate of GDP at the steady state? What’s the growth rate of GDP per worker at the steady state? (2) In the version of the model with technological progress, what’s the growth rate of GDP at the steady state? What’s the growth rate of capital per worker at the steady state? What’s the growth rate of GDP per worker at the steady state? Show your steps
