[Solow Model] A closed economy has the following Cobb- Y=K1/3L2/3 Douglas production function: where Y denotes output, K denotes capital, and L denotes labor. Capital is measured in machines and labor is measured in workers. There is neither population growth, nor technological progress. The annual depreciation rate is 1.2%. The saving rate is 30%. There are 27 machines per worker at the beginning of the year.
(d) Now assume that the economy is already in its steady state. (i) By how many_percentage points should the government change the saving rate so that the economy may converge to the golden rule steady state (use a "+" for an increase and a "-" for a decrease)? (ii) How would the current generation feel about such a change? (iii) How much would be consumption per worker in the golden rule steady state?
