1 The Solow model - analytical solution, linearization, shooting, relaxation (complete) (Quantitative Dynamic Macroeconomics, Lecture Notes, Thomas Steger, University of Leipzig). Solow model: analytical solution. Model setup Consider the Solow model with exponential population growth L = L 0 e nt (n 0) and without technical change (A = const.). The equation of motion for capital per capita k := K L reads k = sy- d +n k, where y = Ak a. The reduced form of the Solow is hence given by k = k a - d +n k with k 0 = k 0 () From k = 0 the steady state level of capital is as follows k è = d+n -a Assume that the economy is in a steady state initially and the saving rate increases once and for all. How does the transition from the initial steady state to the new steady state look like? (2) 2. Finding an analytical solution We start with the non-linear differential equation (DE) k = k a - d +n k, which will be transformed into a linear DE. Define z = k -a such that z = -a k -a k fl k = z -a - k a (3) Plugging this into k = k a - d +n k gives z -a - k a = k a - d +n k z = -a - -a d +n k -a z = -a - -a d +n z (4) (5) (6) This is a linear DE which can be solved analytically. Here we employ Mathematica to find the analytical solution.

Noting z = k -a we get k t = As n +d + k -a 0 - As n +d a-+d t -a (8) This result can be verified by simply by forming k and plugging this into k = sk a - d +n k timepathk As n k0 n As n n t ; D timepathk, t s A timepathk n timepathk PowerExpand FullSimplify True 3. Plotting time paths We can now describe the evolution of an economy that experiences a once and for all increase in s. The following set of parameters is employed setparameter A, s 0.2, 0.3, 0.02, n 0.0 ; setparameter2 A, s 0.3, 0.3, 0.02, n 0.0 ; The initial steady state level of k is given by k0. setparameter; The time paths k t, y t, c t can then be written in Mathematica syntax as follows

4 4 Solow_complete.nb 2. Solow model: linearization. Some conceptual remarks Consider the following (non-linear) differential equation (think of the reduced-form Solow model) k = f k with k 0 = k 0 Linearizing this DE around the steady state k = k è by means of a first-order Taylor approximation gives (border conditions omitted) k = è f k è + f k k k - k è where f k is evaluated at k = k è. Notice f k è = 0 by definition recall the steady state condition k = 0. Moreover, k since k = k - k è we can write k - k è = è f k k - k è k () (2) (3) This is a linear and homogenous DE in the variable k - k è. We know that the solution may be expressed as (see, for instance, Chiang, 2004) k - k è = è Be lt (4) where B is an "arbitrary constant of integration" (determined by initial conditions, i.e. k 0 = k 0 ) and l represents an eigenvalue given by l = f k. k 2. Solution of the linearized equation Again, we start with the reduced form of the Solow model given by k = k a - d +n k with k 0 = k 0 Linearizing the above DE around the steady state k è by means of a first-order Taylor approximation gives k - k è = è ak è a- è - d +n k - k This is a linear DE with constant coefficients of the form k - k è k - k è = è Be at > a k - k è, which has the following solution (5) (6) (7) Noting a = a k è a- - d +n and k è = d+n -a we get
5 Solow_complete.nb 5 a = a d+n a- -a - d +n =a d +n - d +n = a - d +n (8) such that k - k è = è a- d+n t Be The constant of integration B results from k 0 = k 0 at t = 0 which gives k 0 - k è = è Be a- d+n 0 fl B = k 0 - k è (9) (0) The complete solution to the linear DE under study is hence given by k = è k è + k 0 - k è a- d+n t e () 3. Plotting time paths We can now describe the evolution of an economy that experiences a once and for all increase in s. The following set of parameters is employed setparameter A, s 0.2, 0.3, 0.02, n 0.0 ; setparameter2 A, s 0.3, 0.3, 0.02, n 0.0 ; The initial steady state level of k is given by k0. setparameter; The time paths k t, y t, c t can then be written in Mathematica syntax as follows timepathk k0 E t ; timepathy A timepathk ; timepathc s timepathy; Next we plot the time paths of k t, y t, c t

Relaxation: a sketch à The Relaxation Algorithm: a sketch "The relaxation method determines the solution by starting with a guess and improving it, iteratively. As the iteration improves the solution, the result is said to relax to the true solution." (Press et al., p. 765) à Starting point: a general ODE Consider the following autonomous, ordinary differential equation system (ODE), expressed in vector notation x t = f x t with f : N Ø N (0)
10 0 Solow_complete.nb B x 0 = 0 with B : N Ø n F x = 0 with F : N Ø n 2 ; n + n 2 = N () (2) A solution is a function x = x t which maps each tœ into a unique x N such that (0), (), and (2) are satisfied. à Discretization: corresponding algebraic problem The ODE x = f x can then be approximated by a "finite difference equation" (FDE) x v+ - x v = t v+ - t v f x v for all v œ, 2,..., M (3) where x n denotes the value of x at t v for v œ, 2,..., M, t v œ T = t, t 2,..., t M (the time mesh, equal to set of natural numbers in the simplest case), and x v = x v + x v+ 2. A solution of this equation (plus boundary conditions) consists of a set of points x v with v œ, 2,..., M in the state space of dimension N (approximating the solution trajectory). Notice: The initial problem of solving an ODE has been transformed into a problem of solving a set of N M - + N = NM algebraic equations (the above set of equations plus the Ò of finite difference equation Ò of boundary conditions boundary conditions)! à An illustrative example Consider the Solow model (N = ) with three mesh points (M = 3) x ~k; k = f k ; v œ, 2, 3 (4) Between the two mesh points v = 2 and v = we have k 2 - k = 2 - f k + k 2 2 (5) Between the two mesh points v = 3 and v = 2 we have k 3 - k 2 = 3-2 f k 2 + k 3 2 (6) Boundary conditions can be stated as: k = k initial. This represents an algebraic system comprising 3 equations in 3 unknowns. In what follows, we solve such a system for {k, k 2, k 3 } using the FindRoot command. 2.

13 Solow_complete.nb 3 k a This is the center manifold, i.e. the continuum of stationary solutions of the dynamic system in terms of (scaleadjusted) k and a. Starting with some initial combination (a 0, k 0 ), the economy converges to a point on this center manifold. Since A = A 0 e x t is exogenous (assumed to grow at constant exponential rate), the economy does not move along the a-dimension, i.e. a always remains constant at a t = a 0. This is implies that knowledge about (a 0, k 0 ) suffices to determine the point on the center manifold that gets ultimately reached.
