초록

전통적 이론에 의하면 이윤율은 일반적으로 자본의 유기적 구성과 잉여가치율 사이의 상호작용에 의해 결정된다. 그리고 이윤율은 자본주의적 발전과 함께 자본의 유기적 구성이 심화됨으로써 저하하는 것이다. 실증분석에 의하면 이윤율과 잉여가치율은 각각 저하한 반면 자본의 유기적 구성도는 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 실증분석의 결과를 볼 때 한국경제에서는 이윤율 저하경향의 법칙이 관철되는 것으로 보인다. 그러나 그 결정요인들의 추세는 전통적 이론에서와는 다른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 차별적인 추정결과에도 불구하고 분석 대상 기간 동안 한국경제에서 이윤율 저하경향의 법칙이 실현된 것으로 나타났다.

With regard to conventional theory, the rate of profit is determined by the interaction between the rate of surplus value and the organic composition of capital. And it declines with the capitalistic development through intensifying the organic composition of capital. According to the empirical test, the rate of profit and the rate of surplus value have been decreased. On the contrary, the organic composition of capital have increased during the period under study. The empirical results of the rate of profit in Korean economy appears to hold the principle of the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. But the trend of the determinants is distinct from the conventional theory. Despite the distinctive empirical results, the law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall is realized in Korean economy in objective period of time.
