May I question Professor MorisHIMA on the implications of his
analysis? The studies made thus far on the turnpike theory have
heen concerned with the optimal pattern of development of an eco-
nomy in which there is no final consumption. You have succeeded
in escaping from the latter restriction; but you have tied up con-
sumption to the general growth of the economy by other rules. I do
not see very clearly what kind of conclusion you intend to draw
from the analysis.
You may be thinking that, by extending the turnpike theorem to
a case allowing for consumption, you are giving indications about
the qualitative features of the programs which would be optimal
for development. You may also be aiming at describing how the
actual process of growth has occurred.
[ should like to know exactly your intentions. Do you explore
ndications for programming? or do you describe what happens in
a capitalist econo-—
MORISHIM.
The aim of this study is to extend the recent results of growth
economics (especially the turnpike theorem) to a model with endo-
enous population growth and flexible consumption demands
