Capital Utilization(ISBN=9780521070287) fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

This book presents the theory of capital utilization, a

discussion of the econometrics of capital utilization, and

econometric tests of the theory using international data. Capital

utilization, defined as the proportion of time that capital is

working productively, is mainly affected by shift-working. Capital

utilization is an important economic variable that has received

serious attention from economists only since the mid-1960s In the

first part, the authors provide a synthesis of current knowledge,

combining a consistent statement of existing theory with some major

extensions. In the second part, they turn to the econometrics,

first discussing the appropriate methodology and then testing the

theory on data from several countries. This empirical work is

considerably more sophisticated than previous studies on this

topic. Having established the theory and tested it, they move on to

consider policy, the relationship between capital utilization and

economic growth, and the place of shift-work in the dual

economy.
