资本密集型工业一般指的是这样一种工业:在这种工业中设备和固定资本与总成本之比率(这种比率原则上是通过折旧成比测定的)大于其他所有工业中这个比率的平均数。一种工业的资本密集程度也可以由该工业中的资本投入与劳动力投入的关系推算出来。藉此,资本投入大于劳动力投入的工业就是资本密集型工业;反之,劳动力投入大于资本投入的则是 A capital-intensive industry generally refers to an industry in which the ratio of equipment to fixed capital to total costs (which is, in principle, measured by depreciation in principle) is greater than the average of all other industries number. The degree of capital intensity of an industry can also be inferred from the relationship between capital investment and labor input in the industry. As a result, the industry with more capital input than labor input is the capital-intensive industry. Conversely, if the labor input is greater than the capital investment
