What are Critisms or the drawbacks of the Solow Growth Model? What types of economical growth that it does not account for?
Suppose that the depreciation rate increases. In the Solow growth model, determine the effects of this on the quantity of capital per worker and on output per worker in the steady state. Explain the economic intuition behind your results.
What can the Solow model tell us about growth in the short term and in the long term? What is different between the Solow model and the endogenous growth model?
