The Cobb-Douglas Function

1971
Of the Marshallian type of function, the best known and the most widely used is the Cobb-Douglas production function. It takes its name from Professor (one-time Senator) Douglas who, from empirical observation, inferred its properties, and to his colleague Cobb, a mathematician, who suggested the mathematical form which had those properties.

A Bayesian Application on Cobb‐Douglas Production Function

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975
Cobb-Douglas production functions estimated by least-squares methods have been widely applied in agriculture. Estimates based on cross-sectional samples of farms, as most studies have been, almost typically result in some elasticities for land and labor which are negative.

A Note on the Use of the Cobb‐Douglas Profit Function

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1986
AbstractFactor demand and output supply functions formulated within the framework of the Cobb‐Douglas profit function have been widely used for the study of technological and production behavior of the farm firm. There are certain inbuilt rigidities in this function that have been very often construed as empirical findings by various authors.

A stochastic approach to the Cobb-Douglas Production Function [PDF]

Economics Bulletin, 2007
This paper presents a stochastic approach to the theory of aggregateproduction function, based on the theory of stochastic differentialequations. The main result is that under certain restrictions the productionfunction converges from below to the Cobb-Douglas functionproviding further support for the conclusion drawn by Jones (2005).

On Cobb-Douglas production function model

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
The purpose of this discourse is to describe the estimation methods of COBB-DOUGLAS production functional model thrash cost function and with multiplicative and additive errors. Nonlinear regression models have been a subject of an intensive investigation in select years.

The Cobb-Douglas or the Wicksell function? — A comment

Economy and History, 1973
Abstract In a recent issue of this Journal Mr. Carl-Axel Olsson has pointed out that the now ‘famous’ Cobb-Douglas function was used by Knut Wicksell long before Cobb and Douglas formulated this function on the basis of the empirical observations made by Professor Douglas about the share of wages in the total output. Mr. Olsson goes on to say that:

The Cobb-Douglas Production Function

1981
Consider now a special representation of the index function σ appearing in the definition of the nomothetic production surfaces (32) or (32.1). Let $$ \sigma = {\sigma _{0}}\left[ {\mathop{\Pi }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{N} {{(\frac{{{x_{1}}}}{{{x_{1}}0}})}^{{{a_{{i\quad }}}}}}\mathop{\Pi }\limits_{{k = 1}}^{L} {{(\frac{{{x_{1}}}}{{{x_{1}}0}})}^{{{b_{k}}}}}}

Reliable Optimal Production Control with Cobb-Douglas Model

Reliable Computing, 1998
This paper investigates the Cobb-Douglas production function mathematical model to describe the relationship among production, labor, and capital. The traditional settings on equilibrium market problem and seller's market problem, together with their corresponding optimal control problems are extended to an interval-based approach and to a dynamically ...
