Realistic estimates of economic depreciation are required for analyses of tax policy, economic growth and production, and national income and wealth. THe purpose of this paper is to examine the stability assumption underlying the econometric derivation of empirical estimates of economic depreciation for industrial machinery and and equipment. The results suggest that a reasonable stability of economic depreciation rates of decline may exist over time. Thus, the assumption of a constant rate of economic depreciation may be a reasonable approximation for further empirical economic analyses.
税收政策、经济增长与生产以及国民收入与财富分析需要对经济折旧进行现实估计。本文旨在检验工业机械和设备经济折旧实证估计的计量经济学推导所依据的稳定性假设。结果表明，经济折旧下降率可能会随时间呈现合理的稳定性。因此，经济折旧率恒定的假设对于进一步的实证经济分析可能是一个合理的近似。
