Potential Output And Sources Of Economic Growth In The Indian Economy, 1950-51 To 1964-65, N. R. Murthy

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

The study of potential output and the sources of economic growth has become in the last fifteen years an important part of economic literature. Most of the studies on potential output and the sources of economic growth have been carried out mainly for the United States, some Western European countries and Canada. There is a small number of such studies on the less developed economies. In fact, there are no studies on potential output and sources of economic growth in the Indian economy. The present study is an attempt to fill in this gap.

This chapter attempts to present an …


Factor Substitution And Complementarity In Greek Manufacturing, 1961-70, Kimon John Constas Jan 1974

Factor Substitution And Complementarity In Greek Manufacturing, 1961-70, Kimon John Constas

The first proposition states that changes in the ratio are due to changes in relative factor prices. More precisely, if the wage rate rises faster than the salary rate, substitution of salaried labor for non-salaried will lead to differential shifts in labor demands, and, therefore, the ratio will rise.

The second hypothesis states that, because of capital influx to Greece …


Capital And Output In The Mexican Economy, 1939-67, Mary Ann Throup Jan 1974

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Mexico’s declining capital coefficient over the 1939-67 period conforms to Bićanić’s third stage where external and internal economies are experienced. Sectoral investigations indicate declining coefficients in the infrastructure sector are largely responsible for this situation while an aggregate analysis presents significant evidence of internal and external economies resulting from the elimination of “bottlenecks” on the supply side.
