TRUE/FALSE
1. An increase in the depreciation rate affects the steady-state capital per worker the same way as an
increase in the population growth rate.
2. If the saving rate increases, then the optimum level of capital per worker falls.
3. An increase in technology causes the real GDP per worker to increase during the transition to the
steady-state.
4. An increase in technology cause the growth in real output per worker to be higher in the long run or
steady-state.
5. The Solow model of growth says that poorer economies should over time converge towards richer
ones in terms of real output put worker.
