Many demographers predict that the United States will have zero population growth in the coming decades, in contrast to the historical average population growth of about 1 percent per year. Use the Solow model to forecast the effect of this slowdown in population growth on the growth of total output and the growth of output per person. Consider the effects both in the steady state and in the transition between steady states.

    Check the explanation

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Other things being constant, a slowdown in population growth will lead to an increase in the availability of capital per worker and output per worker.

    At the steady state, output per worker will grow at the rate of g while. Thus, steady state per person output growth will be same, however total output will increase at the rate n+g.

    In case of transition between steady states, during the transition phase, output per worker will grow at a rate greater than g. Overtime in the long run with a fall in population growth, total output will fall while output per worker will increase.
