  1. Of or pertaining to the Japanese economist Nobuo Okishio and his theories.

    What and why does Okishian theory locate the theoretical boundary separating the internal from the external?

    The generality of the Okishian theorem has thus been refuted, and that theorem is thus confined to a special case (i.e. neoclassical-perfect competition in the absence of fixed capital).

    Nonetheless the Okishian critique can be refuted at a different level of abstraction, that is, that of competition between capitals/firms.
