DEA Cobb–Douglas frontier and cross-efficiency [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of the Operational Research Society, 2014
The current paper examines the cross-efficiency concept in data envelopment analysis (DEA). While cross-efficiency has appeal as a peer evaluation approach, it is often the subject of criticism, due mainly to the use of DEA weights that are often non-unique. As a result, cross-efficiency scores are routinely viewed as arbitrary in that they depend on a

The Cobb-Douglas Function

SpringerBriefs in Economics, 2015
We use the mosaic package to view a two input function—the Cobb-Douglas function—from different angles. We see how in the Cobb-Douglas production function output as a function of labour changes as we change the amount of capital or the level of technology. We see how we can graph isoquants.

Cobb-Douglas preferences under uncertainty [PDF]

open access: possibleEconomic Theory, 2013
The problem under consideration is axiomatic foundations of individual preferences which generalize preferences of Cobb-Douglas (CD) type under uncertainty. The choice space is a set of simple real valued measurable functions \(\{\phi ,\varphi ,\dots\}\), called acts, which map elements of an abstract set \textit{S} of ``states of nature'' into a set ...

Estimation of the Cobb-Douglas Production Function

Econometrica, 1975
WE CONSIDER THE PROBLEM of estimating the coefficients of the Cobb-Douglas production function when observations are obtained from a cross section of firms. Under the assumptions that the firms operate in competitive markets and maximize "actual" profits, a stochastic model of production of the firms can be ...

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.
