Economies of scale and scope in Australian telecommunications [PDF]

This paper employs a composite cost function to examine the cost structure of Australian telephone services. The composite cost model combines the log-quadratic input price structure of the translog model with a quadratic structure for multiple outputs ...

Urban patterns, population density and optimal city dimension: The case of public infrastructure [PDF]

Determination of the optimal city size underlies the economic rationality of infrastructure provision by local governments. We investigate the existence of decreasing average costs resulting from economies of scale, associated with larger urban ...

Measuring Scale Economies in a Heterogeneous Industry: The Case of European Settlement Institutions [PDF]

We examine whether the European settlement institutions are technically efficient. This is done by means of estimating a translog cost function, and investigating whether scale economies are fully exploited. Since the sample is quite heterogeneous, fixed

Prices and production cost in aluminium smelting in the short and the long run [PDF]

, 2003
The main objective of this work is to reflect the structural changes that have characterized the aluminium industry over the last few decades. I order to capture the changes in competition I have estimated cost and related it to output prices by ...

IMPOSING CURVATURE RESTRICTIONS ON A TRANSLOG COST FUNCTION USING A MARKOV CHAIN MONTE CARLO SIMULATION APPROACH [PDF]

Using Kansas Farm data from 1973 to 1998, curvature restrictions are imposed on a translog cost function. Using uninformative priors with indicator functions representing distribution and inequality constraints, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation ...
