Solution

In the Solow growth model, steady-state consumption per worker is calculated by subtracting investment from output.

Investment per worker in the steady state is equal to the depreciation rate (𝛿) times the steady-state capital per worker (𝑘).

So, the steady-state investment per worker is 𝛿 * 𝑘 = 0.08 * 5 = 0.4.

The steady-state output per worker is given as 3.

Therefore, the steady-state consumption per worker is output per worker minus investment per worker, which is 3 - 0.4 = 2.6.
