The Solow Growth Model posits that in a steady state economy with constant savings and depreciation rates, capital accumulation dynamics determine GDP growth trends until equilibrium is reached where net investment equals zero. This mechanism relies on the production function exhibiting diminishing marginal returns to physical capital, which ensures that per capita income converges to a stable level determined by technological parameters rather than infinite expansion from capital alone. The theory distinguishes between total factor productivity shifts and endogenous fluctuations in output derived solely from adjustments in the capital stock within a closed or open economic system.
