Question

1. Graphically illustrate and explain the effects of an increase in the rate of technological progress on the Solow growth model. In your answer, you must clearly label all curves and the initial and final equilibria. In your answer, explain what happens to the rate of growth of output per worker and the rate of growth of output as the economy adjusts to this increase in the rate of technological progress

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Solow Growth Model is a short run growth model of economic growth which shows or illustrates the changes in the level of output in an economy over time, as a result of changes in

- savings rate

- population growth rate

- rate of technological progress.

The diagram attached explains the model.

In the short run, increase in technology will increase the output per worker (looking from the microeconomic perspective) and the aggregate output (looking from the macro perspective) in the economy.

This increase in output is later stabilized in the long run.
