MARTINEZ GONZALEZ, Gloria; VALLE, Alejandro  y  SANCHEZ, César. Productivity and Rate of Surplus Value at International Level: An Empirical Evaluation. Prob. Des [online]. 2019, vol.50, n.196, pp.27-53. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2019.196.63004.

This paper examines the relationship between productivity and the rate of surplus value and seeks to establish if a higher rate of surplus value can be found in developed countries with higher productivity than in underdeveloped countries, a theory consistent with the Marxist conception of this relationship at international level.

A methodology was used which incorporated contingency tables, multivariate analysis using clusters and econometric analysis of fixed-effect panel data. The econometric analysis made use of a wide range of databases, with data from studies ranging from the post-war period to the first decade of the 21st century.

Palabras llave : Productivity; rate of surplus value; theory of accumulation; Marxist theory; econometric analysis.
