In words, a biased technical improvement which a substitution
of by; for a, accompanied increases the ratio of the value of
output of industry % to that of industry i. It is also seen
from (40) and (46) that the amount of labour used by industry
k is increased in comparison with the amount employed by
industry 1.
4. A similar argument may be applied to examine effects
of a technological change of the capital-saving type. Suppose
a substitution between a,; and b,; in favour of a,; accompanies
an increase in F;. Differentiating (10), we obtain (41) and (42),

(47) states that when industry ? makes a technical improvement
which saves the capital good k, and is greater than r, then
the prices of all goods (in terms of labour) will diminish, and
that of 7 will do so by the largest percentage. (48) implies that
