3. Consider a Solow growth model with production function Y = F(K, L) =ĀK1/3 (eL) 2/3, where e is an
exogenous variable that measures the efficiency of an hour of work. Suppose L is constant but e grows at the
constant rate >0. We denote k = K/(eL) the capital stock per effect unit of labor. Using that k
