Solow growth model. In this question, you will explore how changes in the saving rate, the rate of technological progress and the rate of population growth affect an economy's growth. Consider the Solow (neoclassical) growth model with aggregate production function Y = Each period lasts a year. = Ka (AN) ¹-a. a 8 S 1/3 6% 15% GA 9N 1.5% 1.0% Table 1: Benchmark Parameter Values - Solow model (1) Using the parameter values in Table 1, calculate the steady-state values of capital per effective worker k = K/AN, output per effective worker y = Y/AN and consumption per effective worker c = C/AN. Calculate the golden rule saving rate. Also calculate the growth rates of output per worker and consumption per worker along the balanced growth path. (2 points) Solow growth model.
