The intiution behind this change is that a smaller rho leads to faster decay and for any given period past shocks to the system affect the variables less. This is also evident in the capital and consumption impulse response functions. When rho = 0.95 the depreciation shock's effect peaks at about 25 periods for both capital and consumption growth and decays to zero by 100 periods. When rho = 0.2, on the other hand, the depreciation shock's peak effect is at 5 periods for both capital and consumption and is zero by 70. The source of these differences is clearly seen by comparing the delta graphs when rho = 0.95 and 0.2 respectively.
