Yes, I do agree to this claim. The Solow- Swan model, or in simple the Solow model is nothing but an economic model with a long run economic growth by leveraging neo-classical economics. To strike more relevance, I have attached some images which will explain how increase in capital investment efficiently translates to a higher rate of growth of national income. Also, Solow–Swan model assumes from the beginning that the labor-capital split of income remains constant since capital and labour remain constant in the longer run study state.

If you are satisfied with the answer, do hit the thumbs up. Cheers!
