最近翻译文献时遇到一段关于斯拉法价格理论的文字,因本人不是经济学专业,对斯拉法的经济理论不是很熟悉,所以想请朋友们帮忙翻译一下(特别是涉及到方程和未知数的那一句)。非常感谢!
With respect to the Sraffian theory of prices, Hahnel states that “we are only interested in relative prices”. It would be more accurate to say that if the rate of profit is to be determined by Sraffa’s theory, then the theory can only determine relative prices and cannot determine absolute prices because the Sraffian system of equations contains n equations in n + 2 unknowns (n prices, the wage rate, and the rate of profit). If the wage rate is taken as given in order to determine the rate of profit, that still leaves one-too-many unknowns.
