exactly the same procedure as in section 2 of the previous
chapter, the capital accumulation conditions emerse as
(IV.3) a, »(t)=pa,, (1), 1=1, 2, .... (n-1),
which are similar to the (III.6), the only difference being that
now the rate of technical progress has replaced the rate of
population growth. Of course in the (IV.3) all coefficients are
moving, but they are moving at the same rate of change so
that the relation between them remains constant through time.
The effective demand condition also emerges as very similar
to (111.11):
(V4) 1-3 Senda = (e+) 3 5 anid and,
where again the rate of technical progress has taken the place
of the rate of population growth. The interesting property of
this case is that all coefficients of production and all coef-
ficients of consumption, although moving in time, are moving
in an opposite direction and at exactly the same rate. As a.
result, each single binary product of coefficients under the
two summations remains constant as time goes on — the mo-
vements of the components exactly cancelling each other out.
This means that the contribution to national income of each
single sector remains constant. As in the previous case, con-
dition (IV.4) does not raise any problem through time. Once
it is satisfied at time zero, it will remain satisfied for ever,
pecause in all sectors productivity and demand are increasing
at the same rate.
The time paths of all economic magnitudes can be found
immediately by substituting (IV.1) and (IV.2) into (II.11),
(IT.14) and (III.12)-(I1I.15). As can easily be checked, if the
rate of profit remains constant, the results emerge as follows:
r) physical production of each commodity increases in time
at the rate p;
