Abstract

The fundamental purpose of the present paper is to introduce the basic principles of Dimensional Analysis in the context of the economic theory, in order to apply such principles to the fundamental relations that underlay most models of economic growth. In particular, instruments from Dimensional Analysis are used to evaluate the analytical consistency of the Neoclassical model. The analysis shows that an adjustment to the model is required in such a way that the principle of dimensional homogeneity is satisfied.
