The value of the elasticity of substitution between labor and capital (ó) is a "crucial" assumption in the study of factor incomes (e.g., Piketty (2014a), Piketty and Zucman (forthcoming), Karabarbounis and Neiman (2014)) and long-run growth (Solow, 1956). This paper begins by examining the...

In this paper we revisit the influential theory of monopolistic competition and optimum product variety as developed by Dixit and Stiglitz (1977) with applications in international trade by Krugman (1979,1980), by modeling fixed and variable costs of production in terms of underlying use of...
