Everything about Steady State Macroeconomics totally explained
:
The steady state is a condition of the
economy in which output per worker (
productivity of labour) and
capital per worker (
capital intensity) don't change over time. This is due to the rate of new capital production from invested savings exactly equaling the rate of existing capital
depreciation.
Exogenous growth models show how economies will naturally tend to a steady-state. The steady-state is generally associated with the Nobel Prize-winning economist
Robert Solow, who created the
Solow Model in 1956.
In an economy without technological progress, output and capital per worker are no longer changing. In an economy with technological progress, output and capital per effective worker are constantly changing.
One way to break out of a steady-state would be the (instant) adoption of new technology that improves marginal productivity, another would be the (instant) adoption of a lower-depreciation technology. These improvements would be represented as changes to the
given variables in typical growth models. These
macroeconomic models would predict the drift to a new steady state (
tending to a
static output per worker different from the original level).
