Nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies by entropic metho...
An econometric methodology is developed for nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies. The methodology, based on the principle of maximum likelihood, uses... -
Social capital, barriers to production and capital shares: implications for t...
Recent advances in the growth literature have proposed that difficult-to-quantify concepts such as social capital may play an important role in explaining the degree of... -
Assessing the effects of measurement errors on the estimation of production f...
This article explores to what extent the poor results that are often found when estimating parameters of production functions can be attributed to measurement errors, due to the... -
Quasi-fixed inputs and long-run equilibrium in production: a cointegration an...
This paper proposes a cointegration approach to testing the validity long-run equilibrium in production, where capital and labour are taken as quasi-fixed inputs. Previous... -
Alternative functional forms for production, cost and returns to scale functi...
We consider generalized production functions, introduced in Zellner and Revankar (1969), for output y=g(f) where g is a monotonic function and f is a homogeneous production...
