Abstract

The availability of R.N. Vaughan's annual estimates of gross and net capital stock for each manufacturing industry for the period 1945-1973 must inspire many research papers, of which the present, denting with levels and trends in recent years, is the first and simplest. In fact the present article is a presentation of derived statistics related to capital stock data for manufacturing industries. We confine our attention to the eleven years 1963-1973: 1973 was not only the last year of the Vaughan capital stock data but it was also the latest year preceding the recession of the years 1974-1976, and notably a good year for industry; in 1963 the industrial upsurge which began ca. 1960 was well set. It also happened that in 1977 CSO published a very convenient table of Indices of volume of gross output of each CIP industry, for the period 1963-1973. First we set up seven tables of basic data for 45 manufacturing Industries and 11 years, in fact matrices 46 x 11 including a final 46th row for the total, as follows.
