【テーマ】
Technical choice, factor substitution, and unemployment
報告者:中村 英樹 氏(大阪市立大学
経済学研究科 教授)
【概要】
This study considers unemployment in a variant of the
Diamond model and examines the effects of technical choice and
factor-augmenting technical progress.
Technical choice refers to the choice in the ranges of capital use and
labor use. The choice of a wide range of
capital use, that is, a "too advanced" technique given a high wage
rate, could worsen the unemployment problem.
We decompose a constant-elasticity-of-substitution production function
into the available techniques and input quantities and find that unemployment
increases with a rise in the elasticity of substitution. Labor-augmenting technical
progress may worsen unemployment when capital and labor are complements.
