研究企业使用多种资本时,部分资本(如设备)与总资本聚合体同时存在的条件,发现这要求各资本子集强可分离,但会导致设备与厂房完全替代,结论存疑。

Abstract

Earlier work on aggregate production functions with capital-embodied technology showed that, when firms employ more than one capital type, conditions for partial capital ("equipment") aggregation and for total capital aggregation differ. This paper studies simultaneously existing partial and total aggregates. Existence of a total and one partial aggregate implies existence of the complementary partial aggregate. However, simultaneous existence requires each firm's production function to be strongly separable in its capital subaggregates. The use of subaggregates like "equipment" and "plant" together with an aggregate "capital" thus implies that "plant" and "equipment" are perfect substitutes and is highly questionable.
