Question

• Consider the Solow growth model with: $k_{t+1} = SA_t k_t^\alpha + (1 - \delta)k_t$ $A_{t+1} = g(k_t)$ where $g(k)$ is a function satisfying $g' > 0$. The elasticity of $g$ with respect to $k$ is denoted by $\varepsilon(k)$ and satisfies $0 < \varepsilon(k) < 1$. • Notice that we are assuming that the capital-labor ratio contributes to productivity improvement. 1. Characterize the steady state of the model. 2. Prove that the positive steady state is locally stable.

• Consider the Solow growth model with:
kt+1 = SAt kt^α + (1 - δ)kt
At+1 = g(kt)
