摘要：

Rigorous approaches to aggregation indicate that aggregate production functions do not exist except in unlikely special cases. This paper considers the awkward implications for growth economics. It provides a conventional defence of growth theory in terms of 'parables' and then considers how empirical growth research might avoid the need for aggregate production functions.
