so often simply because of the empirical importance of 
exponential growth which makes both the age distribution 
and the tranformation function exponential. Owing to the 
conceptual density of Champernowne's model the two 
elements of life- cycle and promotion are merged into 
one. 
(which resides 
There is, however, a difference^in the interpretation not 
in the form) between Champernowne's model and the others; 
Since physical persons sooner or later die, the age in 
his model is limited, while in the others (relating to 
firms or wealth) there is always the probability of 
virtually infinite life which accounts for a very 
peculiar character of the steady states concerned £ iJ •
