Abstract:
The following analysis is not concerned with the question of what
products should be produced in Northern Ireland, or what techniques of
production should be used?rather it attempts to evaluate the existing
policy of capital subsidisation in terms of its "potential" effect on the
demand for labour in the Northern Ireland engineering industry. The
purpose of the present study is co determine the effect, on employment,
of the change in relative factor prices, (and where necessary to indicate the
change in output required to offset this effect).
