Reswitching And Decreasing Demand For Capital

Author

Listed:
  • Saverio M. Fratini

Abstract

We consider a Wicksellian or Neo‐Austrian model of production with a continuum of techniques. For this model we provide an example in which a monotonically decreasing demand for capital schedule is combined with reswitching and a net product per worker that increases (over a certain interval) as the interest rate increases.
