Abstract

In a recent issue of this Journal Mr. Carl-Axel Olsson has pointed out that the now 'famous' Cobb-Douglas function was used by Knut Wicksell long before Cobb and Douglas formulated this function on the basis of the empirical observations made by Professor Douglas about the share of wages in the total output. Mr. Olsson goes on to say that.
