Functional Forms Used in CGE Models: Modelling Production and Commodity Flows [PDF]
Various well-known functional forms, such as the Cobb-Douglas function, the Leontief function and the Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function, are used frequently in economic modelling.

ABSTRACT We address two important sources of bias that remain unaccounted for in most analyses of firm‐level productivity and trade policy; that is, omitted output price bias and demand shocks. Using firm‐level data that includes product‐level price and physical output measures, we mitigate the omitted output price bias typically encountered when using

Total Factor Productivity Revisited: A Dual Approach to Development Accounting [PDF]
This paper tackles a number of issues that are central to cross-country comparisons of productivity. We develop a “dual” method to compare levels of total factor productivity (TFP) across nations that relies on factor price data rather than the data on ...

"A Theory of Production" The Estimation of the Cobb-Douglas Function: A Retrospective View [PDF]
The Cobb-Douglas production function is still today the most ubiquitous form in theoretical and empirical analyses of growth and productivity. The estimation of the parameters of aggregate production functions is central to much of today's work on growth,

STOCHASTIC FRONTIER ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION FUNCTION AND COST FUNCTION ESTIMATION METHODS. STUDY OF EFFICIENCY AT INDUSTRY LEVEL [PDF]
This paper analyses the efficiency or productivity at the level of a production unit, but also at industry level, resorting for this purpose to both parametric and non-parametric techniques.

On the Implementation and Use of a Genetic Algorithm with Genetic Acquisitions [PDF]
A genetic algorithm is convergent when genetic mutations occur on the objective function gradient direction. These genetic mutations are called genetic acquisitions (Mateescu, 2005).

Cantor Type Invariant Distributions in the Theory of Optimal Growth under Uncertainty [PDF]
We study a one-sector stochastic optimal growth model, where the utility function is iso-elastic and the production function is of the Cobb-Douglas form. Production is affected by a multiplicative shock taking one of two values.
