Relationship between capital and production,
REVUE D'ECONOMIE POLITIQUE, Vol. 65, no. 3, M ay-June,
1955, pp. 332-409.

PTO. seem to yield better results than global analysis
where the differences between sectors are passed over in
silence. The study of capital coefficients is not applicable to the analysis of entrepreneurial behavior.
Jean Parent, ECONOMIC ABSTRACTS no. 20, Entry 2054,
Dec. 1955, P- 942.

Capital theory and theory of production—strangers to
one another for a long time—show a tendency for reunion;
the connecting point is the study of the capitalistic
structure of production. The capital coefficient can be
conceived in two ways: as a coefficient of capital intensity in studies on the capital-production relationship,
as a coefficient of capitalization in the relationship
between investment and revenue. It appears that the intensity coefficient remained stable for a long time but
has tended to decline since. It is not a reliable research
tool, in the short run, because unutilized capacity cannot
be accounted for. The capital coefficients make it possible to formulate precisely the problem^ of choosing the
proper type of investment*7in ^§?rdeyeloped cowtries.

In considering the long-run effect of capital accumulation on ec. growth, the change of population
should be taken into account. The author discusses
contributions to this point of view by Spengler,
Domer, and others.
Two alternative formulations are presented,
each illustrated by a diagram.
