To Michael Perelman,
I would agree that the convergence problem is likely to be more
difficult when dealing with longer-lived capital goods. But, I would
note that the "life" of a capital good is often a matter of
technological or some other kind of obsolescence, rather than just
the wearing-out of the capital good, per se.
Thus, for the entrepreneur, the problem may be connected with
scale and ease of exit. Convergence is harder when investing in
large-scale capital goods that one cannot easily dispose of.
