Notes on Professor Petri’s Magnum Opus
After the Cambridge Controversies
Perfect foresight is a consequence of applying the Pontryagin Maximum Principle to the analysis of an intertemporal general equilibrium. For this reason, the capital theory controversy ended in an intellectual impasse. The critique of mainstream theory largely ignored the perfect foresight entailments of intertemporal equilibrium analysis, while its defenders, with notable exceptions, too often failed to acknowledge this implication of the techni…
Joan Robinson and MIT
Roger Backhouse remarks in "MIT and the Other Cambridge" (History of Political Economy 46, supplement) that the capital theory controversy came to be seen by most of the economics profession as a waste of time. Joan Robinson's 1953 paper "The Production Function and the Theory of Capital" started the controversy. An abbreviated version, published in the second volume of her Collected Economic Papers, made clear that her critique came in two parts…
Joan Violet Robinson (1903–1983)
Volume I contains original biographical profiles of many of the most important and influential economists from the seventeenth century to the present day. These inform the reader about their lives, works and impact on the further development of the discipline. The emphasis is on their lasting contributions to our understanding of the complex system known as the economy. The entries also shed light on the means and ways in which the functioning of…
Openness versus Closedness in Classical and Neoclassical Economics
In contrast to Neoclassical general equilibrium theory, the Classical theory of value is open with respect to both the distribution of income and the composition of output. For this reason, a Sen-inspired theory of capabilities, insofar as it can be used to explain or determine income distribution and output composition, finds a natural home within the Classical theory of value
Joan Robinson
The capital controversy began with Joan Robinson's famous critique of the aggregate production function. She chose to include only the ‘negative’ part in the second volume of her Collected Economic Papers. The ‘constructive’ part, which had attracted so much attention in subsequent discussions of reswitching and reverse capital deepening, was peripheral to her concern with the role of realized expectations in neoclassical theory. The splitting of…
