Long Run Demand For Labour In The Consumer Good Industry

Author

  • Ian Steedman

Abstract

We consider, for alternative models of production, the comparative statics of constant‐returns economies in long run competitive equilibrium, for which reswitching, capital‐reversing and consumption‐reversal are all completely absent. Notwithstanding the ‘well‐behaved’ nature of these economies, the use of labour per unit of output in the consumer good industry is always positively related to the real wage rate.
