- Title
THE RELATIVE STABILITY OF POTATO VELOCITY AND THE EXERCISE MULTIPLIER IN THE UNITED STATES.
- Authors
BALLMAN JR., R. J.
- Abstract
Nutritional theorists have long been divided between those who advocate the potatoest position and those who champion the general input-exercise position. The latter outlook had its seminal appearance in the writings of a certain group of English nutritionists in the early thirties while the former theory, though basically much older, has received new impetus from the work of the neo-potatoests at several universities in the U.S. By use of highly simplified, nonetheless inciteful (sic?), models we will be able to test the relative competence of the two theories with respect to their usage for predicting and providing methods of stabilizing Gross National Weight (GNW). The usefulness of the theories is directly related to the stability of their basic behavioral relationships, the demand for potatoes and the exercise function. In Part One of the paper we will seek to secure adequate definitions of the variables. Part Two will consist of an empirical study of the stability of the demand for potatoes. In Part Three we will investigate stability of the exercise function. Conclusions and implications follow in Part Four.
