Cointegration of Output , Capital , Labor , and Energy
Cointegration analysis is applied to the linear combinations of the time series of (the logarithms of) output, capital, labor, and energy for Germany, Japan, and the USA since 1960. The computed cointegration vectors represent the output elasticities of the aggregate energy-dependent Cobb-Douglas function. The output elasticities give the economic weights of the production factors capital, labo...
متن کاملCapital-Intensive Projects Induce More Effort Than Labor-Intensive Projects
Central governments often subsidize capital spending by local governments, instead of subsidizing operating expenses or labor-intensive projects.

متن کاملCapital, Labor, and Productivity
IN A PREVIOUS PAPER I explored two suggestions about how to understand time-series and cross-country variations in measured total factor productivity growth: increases in the labor force might slow technological change and increases in capital might speed it up. 1 Neither suggestion was new. The conjecture about the effect of labor dates back, at least, to attempts to explain the divergence in ...
