Geoffrey C. Harcourt on Measurements - Dictionary of Arguments
Harcourt I 8 Method/measurements/capital/Harcourt: 'Double-switching' is the possibility that the same technique may be the most profitable of all possible techniques at two or more separated values of the rate of profits even though other techniques have been the most profitable at rates of profits in between. 'Capital-reversing' is the possibility of a positive relationship between the value of capital and the rate of profits. It is argued (…) that capital-reversing as much as double-switching itself strikes at the foundations of all versions of the neoclassical theory of distribution, whether they be in an aggregate production form or in terms of a supply and demand approach at either a macro- or a micro-level. >Measurements, >Econometrics._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
