摘要
Using a state-industry panel data set of 55 industries for 19 major Indian states over the period 1983-84 to 2007-08, we analyze the contemporaneous and long run impacts of the rate of profit and its componentsprofit share, capacity utilization rate and capacity-capital ratioon investment using linear dynamic panel data models. Our results show that: (a) the rate of profit has both short and long run positive impacts on investment; (b) the profit share and capacity-capital ratio have mainly long run positive impacts, but the capacity utilization rate has a more complex pattern of impact on investment.
