In this chapter we study how potential output⎯the output that would be produced if all factors were fully employed⎯grows over time. 2. To better accomplish this, we learn growth accounting and the fundamentals of neoclassical growth theory. Together, they tell us that output growth results both from improvements in technology and from increases in one or more of the inputs to the production process⎯capital, labor, and natural resources. Neoclassical growth theory also tells us that in the long run, growth in potential output results entirely from technological improvement.

(三)思考与实践 1. Now suppose that, in an economy initially at steady-state, there is an exogenous increase in the savings rate. Show how per capita output changes over time. 2. Use the growth accounting equation to answer the following question: If capital’s share of income is 25% and labor’s share of income is 75%, the
stocks of both capital and labor increase by 50%(K/K N/N=0.5),and there is no technology growth,at what rate will potential output grow? Wil the capital-labor ratio increase at all?
