Irving Fisher on a 'fundamental theorum' in neo-Austrian capital theory
Article Abstract:
The capital theory of Bohm-Bawerk has been analysed by Irving Fisher, Frank Fetter and Knut Wicksell. Fetter's work has received little publicity but his critique follows the same lines as Wicksell and Fisher. Fisher's work on Bohm-Bawerk's third step included a minor slip. This does not undermine the importance of Fisher's work as a whole, but was noted by Wicksell in an amusing way. One can also mount a defense of Bohm-Bawerk, despite not being in full agreement with his conclusions.

Summers in 1988 explained the Gibson Paradox in terms of the effect of interest rate changes on the relative gold price. However, the structure of the models differs. Empirical evidence supports the Lee and Petruzzi model based on a
