Abstract
This paper uses a simple Ricardian model to analyze the compara tive static properties of the profit rate, when Okishio-profitable technological innovations are introduced. We use a constructive-geometrical proof of Okishio's Theorem and extend it to a world including fixed capital equipment of equal efficiencies over its lifetime.Keywords
