The Translog Function

1987
The CES was a natural extension of the Cobb-Douglas in that it permitted the elasticity of substitution to be something other than unity. The next obvious step is to generate a function which allows the elasticity of substitution to change with output and/or factor proportions.

Measuring Dynamic Marketing Mix Interactions Using Translog Functions

The Journal of Business, 1982
Jagpal et al. (1979) showed, using multiplicative nonhomogeneous (MNH) sales response functions, that current econometric specifications for measuring marketing mix interactions and/or carryover effects may be structurally restrictive, regardless of their predictive usefulness. They concluded that there is a need for more flexible specifications of the

The translog growth model

Journal of Macroeconomics, 2010
Abstract The macroeconomic growth equation based on the Solow model with translog technology is derived and compared to Wicksell–Cobb–Douglas. Both the basic model with physical capital and the augmented model with physical and human capital are presented.

Confidence Intervals for Elasticity Estimators in Translog Models

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1986
This paper examines the distribution fu nctions of elasticity estimators in translog demand models. The authors consider the normaland ratio-of-normals distributions and present confidence intervals for the elasticity estimators. The results suggest that only elasticity estimato rs based on the means of the actual cost shares are likely to follow ...

The Minflex Laurent Translog Flexible Functional Form

Journal of Econometrics, 1985
The author's minflex-Laurent generalized Leontief model [see ''The flexible Laurent demand system'', Proc. 1982 Am. Econ. Assoc. Meet., Business Econ. Stat. Sect., 82-89 (1982)] was produced from a special case of a second-order Laurent series expansion in the square roots. In this paper we produce a minflex-Laurent translog flexible functional form by

Accuracy of the translog function

Applied Economics Letters, 1994
There has been some discussion of the accuracy of the translog approximation. Various simulation studies have generated different assessments. It is shown that when data are generated using known elasticities but no explicit production or cost function, the translog estimates of own price and cross-price elasticities prove reasonably accurate.
