Reflections on the Frisch-Johansen Tradition in the Theory of Production

  • Chapter
Nonlinearities, Disequilibria and Simulation

Abstract

The Frisch tradition in the theory of production dates as far back as 1926, when Ragnar Frisch gave a series of lectures on the subject at the University of Oslo. The year after, the lectures were published in mimeographed form, to be followed by no less than eight revised and enlarged editions, of which the last (from 1962) was in book form. A mimeographed Part 2 was published as late as 1953.
