ppnewint5: Capital stock model 1 using the New Interpretation.

In clptheory: Compute Price of Production and Labor Values

Capital stock model 1 using the New Interpretation.

Description

This function computes the uniform rate of profit, prices of production and labor values for a basic capital stock model using the New Interpretation. The model has uniform wage rates across industries and does not take account of unproductive labor for labor value calculations.

Usage

ppnewint5(A, l, w, v, Q, D, K, t, l_simple)

Arguments

A	input-output matrix (n x n).
l	vector of complex labor input (1 x n).
w	uniform nominal wage rate (scalar).
v	value of labor power (scalar)
Q	gross output vector (n x 1).
D	depreciation matrix (n x n).
K	capital stock coefficient matrix (n x n).
t	turnover times matrix (n x n diagonal).
l_simple	vector of simple labor input (1 x n).

Value

A list with the following elements:

meig	Maximum eigen value of A
urop	Uniform rate of profit (as a fraction)
mrop	Maximum rate of profit (as a fraction)
ppabs	Price of production vector (absolute)
pprel	Price of production vector (relative)
lvalues	Labor values vector
mevn	Monetary expression of value using net output
mevg	Monetary expression of value using gross output
Nnonneg	Is N Nonnegative? (1=Y,0=N)
Nirred	Is N Irreducible? (1=Y,0=N)
