Based on the capital to labor ratio and the labor force growth rate, the growth rate of the Solow residual is 2.5%.

<h3>What is the Solow Residual?</h3>

This is the part of the growth in real GDP that is not as a result of an increase in capital or labor. The capital remained at zero growth and the labor was growing at 1.5%.

The Solow residual growth rate will then be:

= Real GDP growth rate - Labor force growth

= 4% - 1.5%

= 2.5%
