SEMAINE D'ÉTUDE SUR LE ROLE DE L’ANALYSE ECONOMETRIQUE ETC. 5:
x;;, (=I, ..., n) be the volume of output of good 7 (by in-
dustry 7) in period ¢, and x, (i=1, ..., n; j=0, I, ..., n) the
volume of current input of good j into industry ¢ in period £,
where the o-th good stands for the sole primary factor of
production, ‘labour’. Finally, let s;, (i, j=1, ..., n) be the
volume of capital input of good j into industry ? in period ?.
It is assumed that the production function of each industry
is of the CoBB-DouGLaS type, i.e.

In each industry, unit cost is to be minimized; furthermore,
it equals the price of output when competitive equilibrium pre-
vails. It is well-known that the marginal conditions may be
put in the form:
