HI Anders -- and everyone,
The paper will appear in the *Eastern Economic Journal*, but their last prediction of a date was Winter 2006! (By then the capital stock will certainly have grown!! :-) )
As I mentioned earlier, I can't transmit the diagrams electronically. Again, I would be glad to get some *real* help with this problem. I have a scanner. But I am a novice in this area. If anyone wants to help, write to me off-list, and give me operational instructions; not just "scan it into a xxxx file," etc.
In the meantime, I will send hard copies of the paper to anyone who provides an old-fashioned snail-mail address.
All best,
David
