Using the standard production function, Y = f(K, L, R, T), and holding the resource base fixed, we can derive the result that: y - n = α(k - n) + t , where y = rate of GNI growth, n = rate of labor force (population) growth, k rate of growth of the capital stock, α capital elasticity of output (usually found to be constant), and t the effect of technological change (the Solow residual in empirical studies of sources of economic growth)
Show how the above result is obtained using the production function.
