 What is the part played by capital goods in the process of economic growth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
The view of capital structure evolution presented here is based on an interpretation of capital as knowledge derived primarily from Menger, and on Lachmann’s insistence that capital functions in a structure.
Analogously, the capital structure as a whole can be seen to evolve as entrepreneurs extend it with new capital goods or enhance it by replacing existing capital (combinations) with better (better adapted) ones.
It entails what we might call a "complexifying" of the capital structure, an increasing intricacy of the pattern(s) of complementarity among increasingly specialized capital goods, born in the on-going growth and division of knowledge.

 social capital: civic community, organization and education
In that sense social capital is closely related to what some have called “civic virtue.” The difference is that “social capital” calls attention to the fact that civic virtue is most powerful when embedded in a sense network of reciprocal social relations.

 Rainy Day Fund -- Building Working Capital in Good Times
Capital replacement is essential to ensure the long-run viability of the operation.
A business that depreciates assets without making capital replacements is said to be "living off depreciation." It should be noted that it is not necessary to own the assets, but rather to have control of the assets, as evidenced by the trend towards more leased machinery and equipment.
Without working capital reserves, the options are asset liquidation, interim financing, or refinancing short-term debt with long-term notes, all of which may hinder the future success of the operation.

First, a country is relatively capital abundant if the ratio of its capital stock, K, to its labor supply, L, exceeds the capital to labor ratio in another country.
If a country, say the US, is relatively capital abundant compared to another country, say Canada, then the US will have a lower opportunity cost in autarky for the relatively capital intensive good (say X) and Canada will have a lower opportunity cost in autarky for the relatively labor intensive good (say Y).
That is, a country with much capital compared to labor will have a comparative advantage in capital intensive goods, and a country with much labor compared to capital will have a comparative advantage in labor intensive goods.

 Synopsis 103   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
The theory of capital deals with the fact that capital goods – such as power plants, computer software, buildings – supply services not only in one but over many time periods.
This is, in a nutshell, the cause of the conventional wisdom of capital theory: the longer the time horizon, the more advantageous it is to bring a new technique employing a new capital good into use.
While capital theoretic work is usually presented in mathematical form, as this allows the complex intertemporal relationships to be rigorously explored, in this paper we shall take a verbal approach except for some simple algebraic representation, as the main capital theoretic elements are reasonably straightforward.

 Dynamic investment behavior taking into account ageing of the capital good
It turns out that investing in capital goods of di¤erent age is done such that the net present value of marginal investment equals zero.
Comparing the returns of investment in capital goods of different age, the higher productivity of younger capital goods has to be weighed against the lower costs of depreciation, discounting and acquisition of older capital goods.
In the steady state it holds that, in the most reasonable scenario, the firm should invest at the highest rate in new capital goods, and dis-investment can only be optimal when costs of acquisition are large and machines are old.
