Perhaps you could start here. "The Golden Age Illusion: Rethinking Postwar Capitalism" M. Webber and D. Rigby.
For a more theoretically orientated discussion start here: "The New Value Controversy and the Foundations of Economics" Edited by Freeman, Kliman and Wells. See in this volume "The Case for Simplicity: a Paradigm for the Political Economy of the 21st century" Alan Freeman.
For less lengthy empirical tests see :
*The Empirical Strength of the Labor Theory of Value *(1998) in /Conference Proceedings of Marxian Economics: A Centenary Appraisal/, Riccardo Bellofiore (ed.), Macmillan, London [Download PDF 584KB <http://homepage.newschool.edu/%7EAShaikh/labthvalue.pdf>]
Also on the SNA see
*Measuring the Wealth of Nations: The Political Economy of National Accounts *(1994) co-authored with E. Ahmet Tonak, Cambridge University Press. [Download Ch. 1 PDF 140KB <http://homepage.newschool.edu/%7EAShaikh/wealth.pdf>]
For a reasonable treatment on the Connection between SV and the Profit Rate and therefore the LTV see: *The Rate of Profit and the Future of Capitalism <http://home.mtholyoke.edu/%7Efmoseley/Working_Papers_PDF/RRPE.pdf>**in /Review of Radical Political Economics/, 1997* <http://home.mtholyoke.edu/%7Efmoseley/Working_Papers_PDF/RRPE.pdf>
These should get you started.
Enjoy
