Preface

This book is a collection of papers that comprises the doctorate dissertation of the author defended at Waseda University, June 2012. In addition, some papers published after the defence are included. Those are listed in the Bibliography part at the end of this book. The author tried to do his best in arranging the contents of the papers in a readable way. As a result, the book consists of 10 chapters. Most of chapters were published as independent articles, so that they contained a lot of duplicated descriptions. The author tried to minimise duplications throughout the book, but some still remain for the convenience of readers. A brief and overall introduction of the volume will be given in what follows. The following chapters are all related to fixed capital theory and China’s economy. The first part of the book deals with the theory of fixed capital along the line of Marx, Sraffa, Okishio and Morishima. The second half is dedicated to estimation of fixed capital coefficients of China’s economy and some computation results on China based on the estimated coefficients. Details will be given in Chap. 1, Intro
