Standard postulates concerning the aggregate production function are about marginal productivities - and the associated demand of labor and capital - which are to be negatively related to factor prices, namely the wage rate and the profit rate. The theoretical cases in which these neoclassical properties do not hold are regarded as anomalies. We compute the aggregate values for capital, production and labour and find that the neoclassical postulates do not hold for the whole dataset under consideration.

Abstract
Standard postulates concerning the aggregate production function are about marginal productivities - and the associated demand of labor and capital - which are to be negatively related to factor prices, namely the wage rate and the profit rate. The theoretical cases in which these neoclassical properties do not hold are regarded as anomalies. We compute the aggregate values for capital, production and labour and find that the neoclassical postulates do not hold for the whole dataset under consideration.File in questo prodotto:
