Work Patterns and Capital Utilisation : An International Comparative Study

edited by Dominique Anxo, Gerhard Bosch, Derek Bosworth, Gilbert Cette, Thomas Sterner, Dominique Taddei

Work Patterns and Capital Utilisation, with a preface by Edmond Malinvaud, is a detailed and comprehensive investigation dealing with microeconomic issues of the decision making process that lead to the adoption of particular work patterns. The book considers both the micro and macroeconomic consequences for capital utilisation, productivity growth and employment. It discusses alternative measures of capital utilisation and provides detailed comparative international information of work patterns and capital utilisation over the post-War period. The book includes two comparative international studies of work patterns and capital utilisation in the automobile industry. Policy issues at both the individual, firm and national level are addressed
