We find an average mark-up of 50% for the period 1970 to 2004. Results suggest that there is no consistent trend in the mark-up over time. Extending this analysis, we find that two thirds of total labour employed in South African manufacturing is devoted to fixed costs. We find that this proportion falls during the 1980s and rises during the 1990s, suggesting an increase in labour flexibility followed by a decrease. 2014-07-31T12:28:21Z 2014-07-31T12:28:21Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5796 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
