Re: [OPE-L] why does the debate on the "transformation problem" continue?

I am trying to find out, if they think our empirical data is wrong,
or do they think that even in the absence of a general rate of profit there is
still a transformation problem


Uniform profits is a simplifying assumption. The debate on the TP
could take place with a price of production equation that replaces the
single r with a diagonal matrix of r's. Uniform profits is not the
cause of the TP (the mere presence of profits is).
