ABSTRACT
Production and industry are comprised of a number of particular processes taking place both in parallel to one another and at different levels. Every production process brings together into a unified, coordinated whole various factors of production. The problem is the difference between technical and economic units. The technological bias of German industrial statistics has come under sharp criticism for quite some time, but especially since the publication of the final 1907 census report, and the call has been made for a move toward a more economically oriented procedure. The results of the 1925 census of industry and trade are classified in terms of "economic units" into eight tables arranged under the letter C. If all productive factors and technological coefficients of the two units to be compared were equal, then the relative sizes of the two units could be deduced directly from a comparison of any randomly selected individual combination of factors of production.
