“…The pre-treatment employment gap between Marseille and its synthetic control is virtually zero before regularization. The relative employment rate of the least educated French men in Marseille, however, increased rapidly in 1982. In 1982 employment rate of that group is about 3.8 percentage points higher than in the synthetic region.…”

“…Later it has been enriched by the introduction of the concept of tradable and nontradable goods and has given rise to the 'semi-input-output method' (Kuyvenhoven, 1978). It should be recognized, though, that input-output theory has been developed also in the direction of substitutability between inputs (McFadden, Diewert, Kreyger (1978), De Boer (1981), for some quotations cf. the latter two).…”

Several attempts have been made to verify the marginal productivity theory of distribution. None of the recent attempts have given results which are consistent with the theory. In this note we show how the evolution of these studies reflects an attempt to deal with a fundamental methodological problem. The essence of all tests is to assume a functional form and level of aggregation of the factor inputs into a production function, estimate the function at the appropriate level of aggregation, and compare the resulting marginal products with the observed factor payments. Therefore, by necessity, all tests of the distribution theory are intimately linked to tests of the production theory. If estimated marginal productivities are not equal to factor payments, one can only conclude that the distribution theory or the production assumptions are wrong. A door is always left open to salvage either theory. This is the fundamental methodological problem.The only practical way of dealing with this dilemma is to agree on a fair test of the theory before the test is run. This is essential if the marginal productivity theory is to satisfy the criterion that a theory must be refutable. In this paper we offer the outlines of such a test so that it may be known and discussed before the test is performed.The paper is divided into five sections. Section 1 introduces our problem. Section 2 reviews recent attempts to take account of criticisms of previous tests. Section 3 reviews a method developed for dealing with the problem of multicollinearity which arises when several labour categories are introduced into the production function. We offer a qualification to this method and review some evidence which indicates that the qualitative results are not

“…The essential relationship which distinguishes private from purely collective goods is the one between the supply available u and the quantities consumed uibY individuals i(i The question to be dealt with in this section is whether we can find one relation containing a parameter, say p, which covers the complete range of all part-collective goods with individual and purely collective goods as special cases. The answer is yes and has been inspired by our knowledge of CES production functions (cf Kreijger, 1978, De Boer, 1981, where this knowledge is summarized and the initiators of this branch of economics are quoted). For our purpose a special case is needed:…”
