Suppose that two countries (A and B) are exactly alike in every respect except that the citizens of country A have a higher saving rate than the citizens of country B. Which country will have the higher level of: i) Capital per worker in the steady state? ii) Output per worker in the steady state? iii) Rate of growth of Output per worker in the steady state? Use one graph to illustrate the answer and explain your answer of i), ii), and iii)
