- Description:
- In a comparison of small and big firms the question also arises whether they differ as far as their capital-output ratio is concerned. Apart from the "morphological" question of the characteristics of firms of different size there exists also the different but somehow related question how a growing firm will change and, in the present context, how it will use its accumulating capital: To what extent it will use it to produce the same output with more capital and to what extent for just expanding capacity. This second aspect of the problem leads us to consider the capital-output ratio in a much more general context, including the question of its historical change. (Auszug, Seite 1)
