Solution to “the Kuznets Riddle”
Authors
Abstract:
S. Kuznets's study that the average propensity to consume is a constant value were nexpected because they denied one of the basic provisions of the Keynesian theory. This fact was called "the riddle of Kuznets". F. Modigliani and M. Friedman, using the hypothesis of the life cycle and the concept of constant income, proposed two options that explain its solution. But models should not explain, but give a method of solution. The most controversial is the indicator of autonomous consumption. In the first model, it grows, and in the second it goes to zero. Creation of a method of simulation of consumption functions based on common methodological principles for the consideration of micro and macroeconomic systems. Having constructed a model that objectively describes the activity of a separate enterprise, the primary and primary links of the macroeconomic system, we can explore the whole system. At the exit of the economic system we consider two functions of the offer - cost and cost-price, and one demand. These functions form two types of Keynesian cross, which define two points: break-even and economic power (equilibrium In a three-dimensional space a chain of transformations is considered: profit, investments, fixed assets, growth of depreciation (constant costs) and output. The condition for the formation of a "proportional development economy" - the average propensity to consume should remain unchanged, which is achieved when the marginal values of the multipliers of fixed costs and return on assets are constant. Such periods were explored by S. Kuznets.

Stuttering: Imagining a Solution to the Riddle
The old saying by Van Riper (with a nod to Winston Churchill), that stuttering is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, is well known. While it would be preposterous for any of us to state that, 40 years later, we now have solved the riddle, we can say with a great degree of confidence that advances in scientific inquiry have brought us closer to understanding the factors that may tri...
full textSwelling of latex particles—towards a solution of the riddle
The assumption that during emulsion polymerization, the monomer molecules simply diffuse through the aqueous phase into the latex particles is a commonplace. However, there are experimental hints that this might not be that easy. Here, simulation results are discussed based on Fick's diffusion laws regarding the swelling of latex particles. The results of quantitative application of these laws ...
full textThe Environmental Kuznets Curve:
1. Introduction The environmental Kuznets curve is a hypothesized relationship between various indicators of environmental degradation and income per capita. In the early stages of economic growth degradation and pollution increase, but beyond some level of income per capita (which will vary for different indicators) the trend reverses, so that at high-income levels economic growth leads to env...

INFLAMMATION of the uveal tract, which comprises the iris, ciliary body and choroid, is the cause in 8.3% of cases of blindness in the fourth decade of life and in 2.5% of all cases of blindness in Britain (Sorsby 1956). In other words, about 2,500 of the 100,000 registered blind people in this country were blinded by uveitis and its complications, and this was particularly so in young people i...
full textThe riddle of hyperlactatemia
A recent observational study in a large cohort of critically ill patients confirms the association between hyperlactatemia and mortality. The mechanisms regulating the rates of lactate production and clearance in critical illness remain poorly understood. During exercise, hyperlactatemia clearly results from an imbalance between oxygen delivery and energy requirements. In critically ill patient...
