Capital and labour markets - EPPA
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Capital markets are region-specific. In each region, there is a capital market for the malleable capital, which moves freely across sectors to equalize the rate of return of capital. For the vintage (nonmalleable) capital it is locked into a sector (i.e., sector-specific) and will not be able to be traded in a capital market to search for a higher rate of return in other sectors. In EPPA, labor markets are also region-specific. In the standard EPPA setting, labor is homogenous and can move across sectors freely to equalize the wage rate.
