interpretation in response to Andrew in several posts this week.
You are
correct. With his corn-corn model in terms of physical
quantities, Andrew
is asking me to determine prices of production with a method that
I have
explicitly and vehemently rejected."
This is quite false. I did NOT, did NOT, ask you to determine
prices of production by means of physical quantities. I gave you
some physical data in order to model a rise in productivity. I
asked you to come up with the production prices, but I did NOT,
did NOT say that you needed to use the rising productivity data to
do so. Use them, don't use them, I don't care. Do whatever you
need to do. Make whatever additional assumptions you want to or
need to make. Just come up with some production prices -- some
NUMBERS. Hic Rhodus. Hic Salta.
