Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content: The Classical Theory of Value (Adam Smith, Ricardo, Marx) has been formalized in modern economic theory in the framework of a Linear Model of Production. This makes it possible to give clear definitions of concepts like labor values, production prices, the rate of explotation, the rate of profit, etc., and to clarify the relationships between these and other important concepts (growth, wages and profits, choice of technique, etc.).
This course presents the classical theory with the help of this mathematical model, and also explains its relationship with the modern theory of value (General Equilibrium Theory).

Aim: To understand the content described above.

Prerequisites: Elementary Linear Algebra.
