Consider two countries (A and B), which are in the steady state of the Solow Model and have identical fundamentals, i.e. same parameters, such as the capital depreciation rate , the technological growth rate g and the population growth rate n, same production functions, i.e. Y = F(K, AL) and same saving rates, s. This implies that the steady-states of the two countries are identical. As a consequence of a global pandemic which lasts only one period, 25% of the workforce dies in country A. Differently, the same pandemic implies the death of 10% of the workforce in Country B. Furthermore technology growth rate in country B decreases by 20%, forever. No effects on technology is registered in country A.
