The 9 man producon secors n Fnland are: 1 = A (Agrculure, foresry and hunng) + B (Fshng), 2 = C (Mnng and quarryng) + D (Manufacurng) + E (Elecrcy, gas, and waer supply), 3 = F (Consrucon), 4 = G (Trade, repar of moor vehcles and household goods) + H (Hoels and resaurans), 5 = I (Transpor, sorage and communcaon), 6 = J (Fnancal nermedaon and nsurance), 7 = K (Real esae and busness acves), 8 = L (Admnsraon, socal secury) + M(Educaon), 9 = N (Healh and socal work) + O (Oher communy, socal and personal servces) + P (Household servce acves) - Fnancal nermedaon servces ndrecly measured. These secors cover he whole Fnnsh economy.

If he neoclasscal heory s rue, we should observe zero acceleraon n producon a every secor and ndusry, because he heory assumes ha frms produce a her prof maxmzng flow of producon. However, n all secors and ndusres he assumpon of zero acceleraon n producon was rejeced, and a lnear or more complcaed me rend was observed n producon flows.
