I have written about my research program before. Here I write about results.
- A numerical example of a new capital-theoretic paradox, the reswitching of the order of rentabily.
- A numeric example of, perhaps, another new capital-theoretic paradox, the recurrence of truncation without reswitching or capital-reversing. (I have not yet had this published.)
- A demonstration that the critique developed in the Cambridge capital controversy extends to non-competitive markets.
- A diagram illustrating how the analysis of the choice of technique varies with the perturbation of a parameter in models of the production of commodities.
- A claim that certain capital-theoretic paradoxes are (usually?) only transient in the very long-run, secular time.
- The discovery and presentation of certain generic structures in parameter spaces, associated with qualitative change in the analysis of the choice of technique. This is the broadest claim in my series of papers.
I do not imagine that Christian Bidard, Heinz Kurz, Neri Salvadori, Bertram Schefold, or Ian Steedman, for example, would be surprised by the first two or three bullet points. I concentrate on producing concrete numerical illustrations. I do not expect ever to state the fifth and sixth point with full mathematical rigor. I know the fifth point cannot be completely general.
