From Growth Accounting to the Solow Model 2
◮ In growth accounting
→ link of inputs in period t to output in period t→ no link of inputs or output across periods (t versus t + 1)
◮ Solow model links
→ population/labor force, productivity and, in particular,capital stock in year t
to→ labor force, productivity and capital stock in year t + 1
◮ Solow (1956), Solow (1957) and Solow (1960)

From Growth Accounting to the Solow Model 3
◮ Solow’s story about how the capital stock evolves over time
◮ Households save → investment◮ Households save a (constant) fraction s ∈ [0, 1] of their
income every period/year◮ Households consume the rest, i.e., fraction (1 − s) of
income◮ Aggregate income : Yt◮ Aggregate investment = It = sYt
◮ Law of motion of aggregate capital (δ ∈ [0, 1])
Kt+1 = (1 − δ)Kt + It

Kaldor facts: Stylized facts of economic growth 4
1. The labor share and the capital share are almost constantover time.
2. The ratio of aggregate capital to output is almost constantover time.
3. The return to capital is almost constant over time.
4. Output per capita and capital per worker grow at a roughlyconstant and positive rate.
5. Different countries and regions within a country that startout with a different level of income per capita tend toconverge over time.

Steady state 17
The state variable of this economy is capital Kt
◮ We say that the economy is at a steady state if the statevariable remains constant.
◮ That is capital is constant at K ∗,K ∗ = Kt = Kt+1
◮ Using the C-D production function, we getKt+1 = (1 − δ)Kt + sK α

Comparative dynamics 19
◮ Suppose the level of the capital stock in some economy(country) in year t is at its steady state level
Kt = K ∗ = (sδ)
11−α AL
◮ That is, there is no more growth, i.e. Kt+1 = Kt .
◮ In t + 1, s suddenly increases to s′ > s,
→ sF (Kt , AL) increases to s′F (Kt , AL)
→ K ∗ increases to K ∗′> K ∗
◮ On the graph, we can see that now, the economy startsgrowing again, i.e. Kt+2 > Kt+1 (drawn in class)*
◮ ...until the capital stock reaches the new steady state...K ∗′
