A SX- Capital per worker s ne the = change of Graphic 1 : when capital and output are low , investment exceeds depreciation and capital increases. When capital and output are high, investment is less than depreciation and capital decreases. - Output per worker increases with capital per worker , but , because of decreasing returns to capital the effect , is smaller the higher the level of capital per worker.

For the given level of capital per worker the investments plw are higher than necessary inv p W. ,.. So with CAE we can say & UN3O + positive change increasing /n and increasing /w as long as there is the difference , , The between investments & change in capital per worker is given by the difference between investment per worker and depreciation per worker At (E) the difference is positive : andWand necessari investment. 2 , per worker exceeds depreciation , so capital per worker increases. As we move to the right along the horizontal axis look at higher and higher levels of capital per worker investment , increases by less and less while depreci , atich keeps increasing in proportion to capital. For some leve of capital per worker (*) *, investment is just enough to cover depreciation and , , and capital per worker remains constant. To the left of (*) * investment exceeds depreciation and , capital per worker increases To the right of. (*) * depreciation exceeds investment and capital per worker decreases. - Consider an economy that starts with a low level of capital per worker - / * II Because investment depreciation at this point capital per worker increases. And because exceeds n , output moves with capital output per worker increases as well. Capital per worker eventually reaches , (**, the lad at which investment is equal to depreciation. Once the economy has reached the level of capital per worker (* ) * sutput at (2) and (**, * worker and capital worker remain constant per per their long run equilibrium les. - If a country starts instead from a high level of capital per worker, right of then depreciation , will exceed investment and capital per worker and output per worker will decrease. The initial level of capital per worker is , too high to be sustained given the saving rate. This decrease in capital per ↑u - too to be sustained the rate. This decrease capital worker per worker will continue is high given saving in N until the reaches the point where investment is equal to capital per worker economy again depreciation and is equal to (**. Then it will remain constant- it reaches steady state of the economy & , a.

By implication the growth rate ofoutput is independent of the sacing rate. ,. When the steady state output per worker grows at the rate of technological progress. economy is in L , ↳ balanced growth · Dynamics -> Increase in savings ↑s We are with Solow Model the basic model for technological dealing , which is the long run , but without progress. It takes into consideration two equations : production function : = F() and the capital accumulation equation , where the change in capital per worker is equal to investments per worker minus necessary investment per worker. graphic investment per worker (sX In the has the same shape as the production function - however , it , ends up being lower by s(the saving rate between , Oana1). The investment per worker increases with UN , but by less and less as capital per worker , as there will be decreasing returns to capital. Steady state- graphic the point A represents where the economy In the , is starting at , and it represents the steady-state equilibrium which is where the capital per Worker (t) , and output per worker equal to (*) the In point A the investments per worker are , equal to necessary investments per worker + steady-state equilibrim. Therefore following the capital accumulation equation , , in the long run , a change in capital per worker is equal to zero , and there is no growth of /N and "N in the LR. AU = SX-d N / The 0. 1. saving rate has no effect on the long-run growth rate of output per worker , which is equal to eventually the economy converges to , a constant level of output per worker. In the long un , the growth rate of output is equal to zero , no matter what the saving rate is. The saving rate also determines the leve of output per worker in the LR I ⑮ the function giving saving / investment per worker as a function of capital per worker shifts upward from sof() to sif(). At the initial level of capital per investment worker() , exceeds depreciation capital per , so worker increases. As capital per worker increases , so does output per worker Un economy goes through a period of the positive growth When and so. capital per worker eventually reachesIn investmentisagainevaltodepreciation, andgrowthendsFromthe,theeconomyremainsatt. Y/w is initially constant at level Yo with an increase in the saving rate , autput per worker increases temporarly , until it reaches the highest level of atput perworker (*) , which will lead growth to 0.

Decrease of S We are with Solow Model the basic model for technological dealing , which is the long run , but without progress. It takes into consideration two equations : production function : F() = and the capital accumulation equation , where the change in capital per worker is equal to investments per worker minus necessary investment per worker. In the graphic , investment per worker (sX has the same shape as the production function-however , it ends up being lower by s(the saving rate between , Oana1). The investment per worker increases with UN , but by less and less as capital per worker , as there will be decreasing returns to capital. Steady state- the In the graphic the point A represents , where economy is starting at , and it represents the steady-state equilibrium which is where the , capital per Worker (t) and output per worker equal to (*) the In point A the investments per worker are , equal to necessary investments per worker - steady-state equilibrim. Therefore following the capital accumulation equation , , in the long run , a change in capital per worker is equal to zero , and there is no growth of /N and "N in the LR.

It takes into consideration two equations : production function : F() = and the capital accumulation equation , where the change in capital per worker is equal to investments per worker minus necessary investment per worker. In the graphic , investment per worker (sX has the same shape as the production function - however , it ends up being lower by s(the saving rate between , Oana1). The investment per worker increases with UN , but by less and less as capital per worker , as there will be decreasing returns to capital. Steady state- the In the graphic the point A represents , where economy is starting at , and it represents the steady-state equilibrium which is where the , capital per Worker (t) and output per worker equal to (*) the In point A the investments per worker are , equal to necessary investments per worker + steady-state equilibrim. Therefore following the capital accumulation equation , , in the long run , a change in capital per worker is equal to zero , and there is no growth of /N and "N in the LR.
