QUESTION 4Suppose the Solow model with technological progress describes the economy of Beta. Beta’s population growth is 1%, its rate of technological progress is 0.5%, its depreciation rate is 1%, and its saving rate is 4%. Thus, total output grows at a _____ rate in the steady state.a.0.5%b.1.5%c.0%d.1%

Solution

In the Solow model with technological progress, the steady-state growth rate of total output is equal to the rate of technological progress. Therefore, the total output of Beta's economy grows at a rate of 0.5% in the steady state. So, the answer is a. 0.5%.
