QuestionShall we play a game?
• Life expectancy is less than 50 years• 1 out every 10 infants dies before the age of one• More than 90% of households have no electricity,
refrigerator, telephone, or car• Fewer than 10% of adults have completed high
school.
What country is it?

Why growth matters
Data on infant mortality rates:• 20% in the poorest 1/5 of all countries• 0.4% in the richest 1/5
In Bangladesh, about 80% of people live on less than $2/day.
One-fourth of the poorest countries have had famines during the past 3 decades.
Poverty is associated with oppression of women and minorities.Economic growth raises living standards and reduces poverty….
…for poor countries

Why growth matters
Anything that effects the long-run rate of economic growth – even by a tiny amount – will have huge effects on living standards in the long run.

The lessons of growth theory
These lessons help us understand why poor
countries are poor design policies that
can help them grow learn how our own
growth rate is affected by shocks and our government’s policies
…can make a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

The Solow Model due to Robert Solow,
won Nobel Prize for contributions to the study of economic growth
a major paradigm:• widely used in policy making• benchmark against which most
recent growth theories are compared
looks at the determinants of economic growth and the standard of living in the long run
![Page 15: Ohio Wesleyan University Goran Skosples 7. Long-Run Growth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56815f42550346895dce1ca1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
How Solow model is different from Chapter 3’s model
1. K is no longer fixed:investment causes it to grow, depreciation causes it to shrink.
2. L is no longer fixed:population growth causes it to grow.
3. The consumption function is simpler.
4. No G or T(only to simplify presentation; we can still do fiscal policy experiments)
5. Cosmetic differences.

The national income identity Y = _______
In “per worker” terms: y = _____ , where c = _____ and i =_____
s = the saving rate (an exogenous parameter)Note: s is the only lowercase variable that is not equal to its uppercase version divided by L

Population Growth Assume that the population--and labor force--
grow at rate n. (n is exogenous)
EX: Suppose L = 1000 in year 1 and the population is growing at 2%/year ( ________ ).
Then L =

Capital accumulationThe basic idea: _________ increases the capital
stock, ___________ and_______ reduces it.
Change in capital stock = investment – depreciation – dilution
k
Since _________ , this becomes:
k = s f(k) – (+n )k

23
Break-even investment ( + n)k = ,
the amount of investment necessary to keep ___ constant.
Break-even investment includes:• ____ to replace capital as it wears out
• ____ to equip new workers with capital
(otherwise, k would fall as the existing capital stock would be spread more thinly over a larger population of workers)

Summary
1. The Solow growth model shows that, in the long run, a country’s standard of living depends• positively on its saving rate.• negatively on its population growth rate.• positively on total factor productivity
2. An increase in the saving rate leads to • higher output in the long run• faster growth temporarily • but not faster steady state growth.

3. In the long run, only a continuous increase in productivity growth can lead to sustained increase in the standard of living
4. Both capital per worker and total factor productivity explain income differences around the world
