Abstract

El artículo estudia la división de un sistema de producción en los departamentos i y ii e introduce una división posterior del departamento i en un sector homotético y otro complementario. Muestra la existencia de cotas superiores e inferiores no triviales para el acervo de capital y para el salario que dependen de esta división, con lo cual contribuye, entre otros resultados, a explicar la casi linealidad de la curva salarios-ganancia encontrada en algunos estudios empíricos.
