Higher savings rate leads to higher growth rate

Explanation:

since the per-worker production function has a positive constant A it therefore means that the per - worker productivity will increase positively in the steady state and will cause Higher savings rate which will lead to higher growth rate of the capital a worker has at a given time.

but note that this does not result to a higher growth rate in the per worker output while considering the balance growth path in the steady state situation as well.
