In clptheory: Compute Price of Production and Labor Values

Circulating capital model 1 using the Standard Interpretation.

Description

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

Usage

ppstdint1(A, l, b, Q, l_simple)

Arguments

A	input-output matrix (n x n).
l	vector of complex labor input (1 x n).
b	vector real wage bundle (n x 1).
Q	gross output vector (n x 1).
l_simple	vector of simple labor input (1 x n).

Value

A list with the following elements:

meig	Maximum eigen value of M
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
dprice	Direct price vector
mevg	Monetary expression of value using gross output
mnonneg	Is M Nonnegative? (1=Y,0=N)
mirred	Is M Irreducible? (1=Y,0=N)
