Why has the US experienced slow growth for more than a decade? Which hypothesis (from the previous lecture) do you think is correct? Any ideas how to fix growth?
U.S is experiencing slow growth for more than a decade and this is because of diminishing returns to capital stock. this because of the convergence hypothesis by slow. according to the model in the long run the developed country will tend to increase or grow at a slow rate than the underdeveloped or developing ones and in the long run all the countrys will converge to a steady state equilibrium. and this happens due to diminishing returns to capital stock. and as U.S is a capital rich country and is developed one, then due to diminishing returns to capital there growth rate declines. to fix growth the country should focus more on skill developement than on capital accumulation and this will increase the growth further.
