The main economic force is the combination of differences in factor proportions and capital deepening.

9 Some implications of capital heterogeneity Benjamin Powell* Introduction A tractor is not a hammer. Both are capital goods but they usually serve different purposes. Yet both can be used to accomplish more than one goal. A tractor can be used to plow a . response when we are confronted with a disaggregated economy witlh many heterogeneous capital goods. A slightly generalized definition has been made available by the Cambridge approach,3 in which a capital deepening response is defined in terms of the change in the value of per worker capital goods stock. This definition has an advantage.

Definition capital widening. means that the capital stock will increase at the same rate as the labour force and lead to constant labour productivity (output per worker).

Capital widening involves greater investment to make use of existing technology and increase the amount of capital available. Capital deepening attempts to increase output through better technology and higher output per worker, for example, a new technology which makes capital.

As it becomes clear in this work, Menger would have opposed all attempts to define capital as a heterogeneous structure of higher-order goods - A definition that is associated with his name : Eduard Braun. In realistic economic models with n different types of capital goods, the value of the capital stock is $$V={\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n{P}_i{K}_i}$$ where P i is the price of the i th capital good in terms of some numéraire.

shares of capital) combined with capital deepening lead to nonbalanced growth because an increase in the capital-labor ratio raises output more in sectors with greater capital intensity.

We illustrate this economic mech-anism using an economy with a constant elasticity of substitution be. Capital deepening is a situation where the capital per worker is increasing in the economy. This is also referred to as increase in the capital intensity.

Capital deepening is often measured by the rate of change in capital stock per labour hour. Acemoglu and Guerrieri () show for a two-sector economy that capital deepening, i.e.

an increase in the economy-wide capital intensity tends to raise the output share of the capital-intensive. Capital Deepening and Non-Balanced Economic Growth Daron Acemoglu MIT Veronica Guerrieri University of Chicago First Version: May This Version: March Abstract We present a model of non-balanced growth based on di⁄erences in factor proportions and capital deepening.

We present a model of nonbalanced growth based on differences in factor proportions and capital deepening. Capital deepening increases the relative output of the more capital-intensive sector but simultaneously induces a reallocation of capital and labor away from that sector.

Using a two-sector general equilibrium model, we show that nonbalanced growth is. capital deepening. increases in an economy's stock of capital (buildings and equipment) relative to its workforce.

1With capital deepening an increase in the ratio of capital and labor used in production is meant here. 2E.g. Helpman, Melitz and Yeaple () or Grossmam, Helpman and Szeidl (). 3Horizontal FDI corresponds to the situation where a ﬁrm serves the foreign market by producing.

6 Figure 3: Reverse capital deepening According to the neoclassical doctrine1, the substitution should always ‘deepen’ the intensity of capital, whenever the wage rate w increases relatively to the rate of profit r. Reverse capital occurs, if the exact opposite takes place: A rise in the rate of profit r leads to the adoption of a more capital intensive technique.

The details of his argument, which extends over most of a dense pages, is beyond the scope of this article but has to do with the economic effect of capital deepening. He argues that in industrialized and post-industrial economies, the infusion of capital produces wealth at a growth rate that exceeds the growth rate of the broader economy.

There is clearly room for additional deepening of human capital .Capital deepening refers to an increase in the proportion of the capital stock to the number of labor hours worked. Movements in this ratio are closely tied to movements in labor productivity, all other things held equal.

An increase in capital per hour (or capital deepening) leads to an increase in labor productivity.
