Additional information

This is an extensively revised version ofJohns Hopkins Working Paper No. 45 and represents research originally begun by the first author while he was visiting the Department of Economics and the Math Center at Northwestern University in 1978. A preliminary version was presented at a seminar at the Development Research Center, IBRD in March 1979.

Our first acknowledgement is to the insights of Amartya Sen and T. N. Srinivasan but the research presented here has also benefitted from the comments and suggestions of our Hopkins' colleagues: Bela Balassa, Bruce Hamilton, Tatsuo Hatta, Lou Maccini, Eshi Motahar, Peter Newman, Masa Nomura, and Bob Schwab. Our final thanks are due to an anonymous referee whose comments led to an improvement of the exposition and a sharpening of the result. Errors are, of course, solely ours.
