Question 4.1: Real savings
An economy that follows a simple Solow growth model has
● real savings = 84 ● depreciation rate = 5.58% ● real GDP = 640 ● capital = 6,470
What is the savings rate in this economy?
Answer 4.1: 84 / (640 – 6,470 × 5.58%) = 30.11%
real savings = savings rate × net income = savings rate × (gross income – depreciation rate × capital) ➾
savings rate = real savings / (gross income – depreciation rate × capital)
