( + n + g)k = break-even investment: the amount of investment necessary to keep k constant.
Consists of: k to replace depreciating capital

Technological progress is labor-augmenting: it increases labor efficiency at the exogenous rate g:

Introduction
In the Solow model of Chapter 7, the production technology is held constant. income per capita is constant in the steady state. Neither point is true in the real world: 1908-2008: U.S. real GDP per person grew by a factor of 7.8, or 2.05% per year. examples of technological progress abound (see next slide).
To find the Golden Rule capital stock, express c* in terms of k*: c* = y* i* ( + n + g) k* In the Golden Rule steady state, the marginal product of capital net of depreciation equals the pop. growth rate plus the rate of tech progress.

Examples of technological progress
From 1950 to 2000, U.S. farm sector productivity
nearly tripled. The real price of computer power has fallen an average of 30% per year over the past three decades. Percentage of U.S. households with ≥ 1 computers: 8% in 1984, 62% in 2003 1981: 213 computers connected to the Internet 2000: 60 million computers connected to the Internet 2001: iPod capacity = 5gb, 1000 songs. Not capable of playing episodes of True Blood. 2009: iPod capacity = 120gb, 30,000 songs. Can play episodes of True Blood.
balanced growth - many variables grow at the same rate.
Solow model predicts Y/L and K/L grow at the
same rate (g), so K/Y should be constant.
This is true in the real world.
“poor” countries (with lower Y/L and K/L) should grow faster than “rich” ones.
No, because “other things” aren’t equal. In samples of countries with
same effect on output as increases in the labor force.

Notation:
y = Y/LE = output per effective worker k = K/LE = capital per effective worker

Growth empirics: Convergence
Solow model predicts that, other things equal,
“poor” countries (with lower Y/L and K/L) should grow faster than “rich” ones.
Solow model predicts real wage grows at same
rate as Y/L, while real rental price is constant.
Also true in the real world.

In this chapter, you will learn:
how to incorporate technological progress in
the Solow model
If true, then the income gap between rich & poor
countries would shrink over time, causing living standards to “converge.”
In real world, many poor countries do NOT grow
Production function per effective worker:
