Solution

The Solow-Swan model does not provide an adequate explanation for why saving rates differ across countries. This model assumes a constant saving rate, and does not take into account the various factors that can influence saving rates, such as cultural attitudes towards saving and spending, government policies, and the level of economic development. Therefore, the correct answer is b. why saving rates differ across countries.

The country of Swan is very wealthy, with a high level of per capita income and capital. The country of Solow is quite poor, with low levels of per capita income and capital.
