The Solow–Swan model or exogenous growth model is an economic model of long-run economic growth. It attempts to explain long-run economic growth by looking at capital accumulation , labor or population growth , and increases in productivity largely driven by technological progress.
In the Solow growth model, a steady state savings rate of 100% implies that all income is going to investment capital for future production, implying a steady state consumption level of zero. A savings rate of 0% implies that no new investment capital is being created, so that the capital stock depreciates without replacement.
In the mid-1980s, a group of growth theorists became increasingly dissatisfied with common accounts of exogenous factors determining long-run growth, such as the Solow–Swan model. They favored a model that replaced the exogenous growth variable (unexplained technical progress) with a model in which the key determinants of growth were explicit ...
In the Solow-Swan model, economic growth is driven by the accumulation of physical capital until this optimum level of capital per worker, which is the "steady state" is reached, where output, consumption and capital are constant. The model predicts more rapid growth when the level of physical capital per capita is low, something often referred ...
Nobel laureate Robert Solow, credited as the founder of the modern model of economic growth, died on Thursday at the age of 99. Through his writings in the 1950s, Solow challenged traditional ...
Trevor Winchester Swan (14 January 1918 – 15 January 1989) was an Australian economist.He is best known for his work on the Solow–Swan growth model, published simultaneously by American economist Robert Solow, for his work on integrating internal and external balance as represented by the Swan Diagram, and for pioneering work in macroeconomic modeling, which predated that of Lawrence Klein ...
Solow and Swan produced a more empirically appealing model with "balanced growth" based on the substitution of labor and capital in production. [59] Solow and Swan suggested that increased savings could only temporarily increase growth, and only technological improvements could increase growth in the long-run. [ 60 ]
