In the early 1980s, Brazil and South Korea had similar saving rates( around 17%) and similar levels of income per capita ( around$6,000 in 1996 dollars). In the 1980-2000 periods, the average Brazilian saving rate stayed around 17%, whereas the Korean saving rate increased to more than 30%.

A. Use the Solow model to predict the effects on the steady-state income per capita for both countries (assuming their efficiency gains were exactly the same) and compare.
B. In 2000, income per capita was $7,190 in Brazil and $15,876 in Korea. Is this consistent with your predictions?
