The Translog Utility Function and the Demand for Money in the United States

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 1984
IN RECENT YEARS considerable effort has been directed towards establishing the nature of the relationship between "money" and "nearmonies" but with mixed success. The approaches vary from multi-interest-rate single equation studies to the careful simultaneous equations studies summarized (and amended) by Feige and Pearce (1977) and extended recently by

The Almost Ideal and Translog Demand Systems [PDF]

, 2009
This chapter reviews the specification and application of the Deaton and Muellbauer (1980) Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and the Christensen, Jorgensen, and Lau (1975) tranlog (TL) demand system. In so doing we examine various refinements to these models, including ways of incorporating demographic effects, methods by which curvature conditions can

Import Demand for India: A Translog Cost Function Approach

Economic Development and Cultural Change, 1984
Most developing countries depend heavily on imported resources in the form of raw materials or supplemental capital to increase their per capita income. However, most of the conventional macromodels have neglected the factor input aspect of imports.

Aids, translog, and the Gorman polar form

Economics Letters, 1987
Abstract All budget share models that are linear in the log of income can be derived from Gorman polar form subutility functions. Implications of this result for two-stage budgeting, lifetime utility maximization, and social welfare calculations are discussed.

A TRANSLOG APPROACH TO CONSUMER SPATIAL BEHAVIOR*

Journal of Regional Science, 1990
ABSTRACTWith the view that travel behavior stems from the principle of utility maximization, in this paper I present a spatial translog demand model that accounts for interdependence among travel alternatives and that handles varying elasticities of substitution for various destination pairs.

A translog cost model of the bulk shipping industry

Transportation Planning and Technology, 1987
Data weaknesses coupled with the lack of a rigorous modelling framework have limited detailed, econometric analysis of international shipping costs. By combining cross‐sectional survey data with simulated variables this article examines the cost functions associated with bulk carrier and tanker operations.

Tracking translators’ keystrokes and eye movements with Translog

2011
Although keylogging opens up many possibilities for studying translation processes, the addition of eye tracking vastly increases our ability to know what kind of process a translator engages in at any given point in time. Following a description of how the Translog software was technologically reshaped in the context of the EU Eye-to-IT project to

Translog Production Function - A Review of Literature

Artha Vijnana: Journal of The Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, 1983
Over the last fifty years an extensive amount of literature has developed centering around the theory of production. Earlier research work in this area concentrated largely on a few specific functional forms for the production relationship, the two most popular being the Cobb-Douglas and CES models (Cobb-Douglas (1928) and Arrow and others (1961).

Third-Order Translog Utility Functions

Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 1986
This article examines the advantages of estimating a third-order rather than a second-order translog utility function in a theoretical and empirical context. It is demonstrated that the rigor of tests for appropriate functional form is increased by increasing the order of approximation.
