Capital‐Labour Substitution in Macroeconomics: A Survey of Mechanisms, Dynamics and Policy Insights
ABSTRACT Macroeconomic conclusions often hinge on a single, hard‐to‐pin‐down parameter: the elasticity of substitution between capital and labour, σ. This survey synthesises theory and evidence on how results change once we move beyond the Cobb–Douglas benchmark (σ=1$\sigma = 1$).

The results provide strong evidence that climate shocks significantly increase both initial and continuing claims, with the linear estimates showing a stronger ...
