Una visión crítica del problema de indeterminación de la distribución del ingreso en el sistema económico de Piero Sraffa
Resumen
El modelo de Piero Sraffa (1960) propone una indeterminación de origen en la distribución del ingreso, la cual tiene implicaciones importantes pues su arbitraria determinación modifica los precios relativos entre los bienes. Este trabajo muestra que al incluir las ecuaciones de producción, y el modelo económico de demanda de Ramsey (1928), la indeterminación del sistema de Sraffa (1960) desaparece siempre y cuando haya pleno empleo del factor trabajo. Sin embargo, sigue siendo cierto que los precios relativos de las mercancías en relación a los salarios se determinan en una variante de la teoría del valor trabajo.
