estion 30 A country with neither population growth nor technological progress is nitaly in the golden-rule steady state. Carefuly ilustrate this situation using a graph with output per worker, investment per worker, and depreciation per worker on the vertical axis and capital per worker on the horizontal axis. Now suppose climate change increases the depreciation rate. If the country adjusts its saving rate to reach the new golden- rule steady state, is it possible to determine how output per worker and consumption per worker in the new steady state compare to their levels in the initial steady state? Explain.
