where H(t) represents the stock of human capital in period t and β is the output share of human capital. we define<br />

variables in efficiency terms so that the equivalent:<br />

(3)<br />

Where:<br />

و و the equation for physical capital accumulation and human capital accumulates according to:<br />

(4)<br />

(5)<br />

and<br />

denote the share of output devoted to physical capital formation an human capital formation. n is rate of<br />

labour force growth (The labor force is exogenous and grows at a constant rate that is given by<br />

), g<br />

denote technological progress(technological progress is exogenous so that the technology index grows at a constant<br />

rate given by and denote, constant depreciation rate of physical capital(By assumption, the<br />

rate of depreciation for the two reproducible inputs is the same).<br />

The steady-state level of efficiency physical capital and the steady-state level of efficiency human capital is:<br />

(6)<br />

(7)<br />

According to 3, 6 and 7, we arrive at the steady-state levels of human and physical capital:<br />

and the steady-state level of efficiency income as:<br />

(8)<br />

With taking the logarithm of 9 the steady-state level of income per worker can be expressed as:<br />

(9)<br />

(10)<br />

The equation 10 can also be expressed in terms of the (steady-state) level of human capital by substituting for sH<br />

and rearranging to obtain:<br />
