Barelli and De Breu Passôa proved that Inada conditions imply asymptotic Cobb-Douglas behavior of the production function. This was corrected by Litina and Palivos by putting that only the elasticity of substitution is equal to one. We will correct both proof and arguments and come up with a...

It is already known for several decades that the implementation of capital augmented technical progress, as is done to date, leads to the conclusion that the CES production has to be Cobb-Douglas or there exists labor augmented technical progress only. This is the so-called Cobb-Douglas labor...

The book 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century' by the French economist Piketty about the inequality of income and wealth distribution is already quite a while in the spotlights. Throughout his book he uses two formulas which he has named ‘the first fundamental law of capitalism’ and ‘the...

In this essay I will show you, from a theoretical point of view, the connection between sustainability, stability, welfare and maximum profit in real business cycles. In a simple one sector Cobb-Douglas economy I investigate the nature of economics. Attention is given to system stability,...
