Question
Assume the economy is initially in its balanced growth state. Suppose
policymakers pursue policies that would increase the saving rate to s1=0.3.
Draw a carefully-labelled diagram to illustrate the effect of the change in the saving rate on the economy in the long run. Explain the effect of the change in saving rate on steady-state capital per effective worker and steady-state consumption per effective worker?
