A form of nonhomogeneous production function is utilized to compute marginal productivities, various elasticities, optimum input ratios, and the like, for different levels of inputs and outputs. Such ...

For the production functions in the previous question calculate the marginal product of x 1 (or MP K for part b) and the technical rate of substitution. Graph one or two isoquants for each production ...

We add to the methods for conditioning out serially correlated unobserved shocks to the production technology. We build on ideas first developed in Olley and Pakes (1996). They show how to use ...

In my last post on my Debtwatch blog, I finished by saying that the Physiocrats were the only School of economics to properly consider the role of energy in production. They ascribed it solely to ...

Abstract This paper proposes a three-stage efficient GMM estimation algorithm for estimating firm-level production functions given spatial dependence across firms due to supplier/customer ...
