ALEXANDER, S. S.
The Accelerator as a generator of steady growth, QJE, LXIII, May 1949, PP* 174-97. The author reviews the theoiy of the accelerator both historically and as a principle in econ. analysis. The accelerator principle is discussed in connection with the generation of steady econ. growth, the influences of the investment and income periods, and the function of price as a stabilizer. The conclusion reached ^is that values of accelerator and propensity to consume can indeed permit steady growth, but with constant prices they will lead to so rapid a rate of growth as to suggest that the assumed relationships cannot long persist.

GORDON, Robert A.
Investment behavior and business cycles, THE REVIEW OF ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS,
February, 1955* 23 pp.
Most economists agree that the primary source of cyclical instability is to be found in the determinants of investment behavior. This paper attempts to make a different approach to the theory of ec* fluctuations: one which links cyclical change more closely to the underlying forces making for growth and structural change than is usually the case today. First it is examined whether cyclical flucts. are likely to occur in absence of significant variations in (long-term) investment. Following this groundwork is laid for a theory of investment behavior in terms of the opening up of inv. opportunities and the varying inducements to exploit these ops. The analytical framework resulting from these 2 sees, is used to elaborate and refine the usual distinction between major + minor cycles. In conluding sec. it is tried briefly this way of looking at causes of cyclical instability. Digitized for FRASER
