    The demand for goods in the neo-classical growth model comes from consumption and investment. In other words, output per worker y is divided between consumption per worker and investment per worker i : y = c + i. This equation is the per worker version of the national income accounts identity for an economy. The Neo-classical growth model assumes that each year people save a fraction, s, of their income and consume a fraction (1 – s). We can express this idea with the following consumption function:  c = (1 – s) y, where s is the saving rate and 0 < s < 1. Here, s is exogenously set. Substituting (1 – s) y for c in the national income accounts identity and rearranging the terms, we obtain :
    I = sy
