1.   The dependence of the size of the capital stock on the degree of capacity utilization and hence on the level of aggregate demand.

2.   This offset the effect of rising mechanization on capital costs, and, combined with a rise in capacity utilization, pushed the output-capital ratio up.

3.   Lower capacity utilization was also important for explaining the fall in the profit rate in the United States, though this is only a partial explanation.

4.   It was also partly in response to the effects of overaccumulation that deflationary policies led to decreased capacity utilization in the United States.

5.   The share of profits in both manufacturing and business showed little change, despite lower capacity utilization.

6.   Also Thursday, the Federal Reserve will release industrial production and capacity utilization figures for September.

7.   Among the other data due, are reports Thursday on consumer prices, industrial production and capacity utilization.

8.   Among the other data due, are reports Wednesday on consumer prices, industrial production and capacity utilization.

9.   And Friday, the Federal Reserve issues its report on industrial production and capacity utilization.

10.   Another downside risk is that growth in capital spending, especially among manufacturers, could weaken appreciably if pressures on domestic profit margins mount and capacity utilization drops further.
