The Economic Theory of Replacement and Depreciation

Dale Jorgenson

Chapter 10 in Econometrics and Economic Theory, 1974, pp 189-221 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The economic theory of production — including the description of technology, the conditions for producer equilibrium, and the response of variables determined in the theory to changes in parameters — may be developed in a form that abstracts from specific interpretations.1 In the intertemporal theory of production each commodity is distinguished by point of time. As an illustration, an hour of labour today and an hour of labour tomorrow are treated as distinct commodities. Given this convention the intertemporal theory of producer behaviour is formally analogous to the standard atemporal theory.2
