Neoclassical Growth Theory which implies the following first-order difference equation kt+1 = sf (kt ) + (1 − δ)kt . 5) is the Solow model in discrete time. It says that the amount of capital per worker depends positively on the saving rate, s, and negatively on the depreciation rate, δ. 5), we can consider dynamic equilibria, in which every variable grows at some constant rate.

Such equilibria are known as steady states. Under our present assumptions (with no population growth and technical change), steady-state requires that capital per person is constant over time — that is, kt+1 = kt . 6) suggesting that δk∗ is the amount of saving (and therefore, investment) per capita, necessary to keep constant the level of capital per worker. We can also discuss what amount of capital accumulation is optimal. In order to do so, we assume a policymaker whose objective is the same as that of the representative economic agent, and in particular, to maximize steady-state per capita consumption.
