Unproductive expenditure in manufacturing
构建行为模型解释先进资本主义经济体制造业寡头企业的剩余规模及其在非生产性支出与利润间的分配,并用美国数据检验模型,探讨其对行业和总资本积累的影响。
A behavioral model is developed to explain the magnitude of surplus and the division of surplus into unproductive and profit for oligopoly firms in the manufacturing sector of advanced capitalist economies. Particular attention is focused upon the determinants of interfirm, nonprice rivalry as an important component of unproductive expenditure. The explanatory models of profit and unproductive expenditure are then tested using U.S. data. Finally, the implications of these models and estimates for industry and aggregate capital accumulation are drawn.
