The LeChatelier principle
Article Abstract:
Paul A. Samuelson's LeChatelier principle maintains that in input demand, changes in capital use tend to increase labor use in the long run. This principle determines conditions where economic factors may evoke a slow response to varying conditions. It can be used further to interpret and apply research findings. The principle also determines the reason for low estimates when price or income elasticities are based on time-series data.
