The Problem of Capital Intensity

1990
1. In a comparison of small and big firms the question also arises whether they differ as far as their capital-output ratio is concerned. Apart from the ‘morphological’ question of the characteristics of firms of different size, there exists also the different but somehow related question how a growing firm will change and, in the present context, how ...

The paradox of capital intensity

Economics and Mathematical Methods
Reducing the capital intensity of production makes possible to maintain economic growth at a low rate of capital accumulation. However, the relationship between the development of the knowledge economy and the dynamics of capital intensity is complex. In some periods it is positive, in others it is negative.
