These corrections do not affect the expressions we found for
prices — for example the (II.14) — where the technical coef-
ficients appear, provided that the wage rate is also referred to
a unit of actual working time. They do affect, on the other
hand, the expression of the effective demand condition for
equilibrium. (This is after all intuitive: the conditions for
reaching full employment are evidently different according to
the ratio of active to total population and to the length of
the working week). Hence, after introducing « and B, (III.o)

hlies and other economic variables
To find now how prices and physical quantities move as
time goes by is a very easy task. As to prices, it can imme-
diately be seen from the (II.14) or from the (II.16) that, under
the present hypotheses, all their components are constant in
time, so that all relative prices remain constant as time goes on.
The expressions found for physical quantities on the other
hand — the (II.11) or the (II.15) — all contain one compo-
nent, namely population, which is increasing at a percentage
rate g. Therefore, each physical quantity increases in time at
the percentage rate of growth g.
Besides prices and quantities, there are other magnitudes
in the system which are of economic interest and which are
worth considering. The time-paths of two series of them in
particular — the amounts of employment in each of the sectors
and the production of each commodity at current prices — can
