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.

Airline Code-share Alliances and Costs: Imposing Concavity on Translog Cost Function Estimation

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
This paper provides an assessment of how airline code-share alliances affect the costs of the airline industry. It makes two contributions to the literature. First, it measures the effects of airline alliances by estimating a translog cost function using a panel dataset of 10 major U.S.-based airlines over 29 quarters. Secondly, it ensures concavity of

A Translog Cost Function for Urban Bus Transit

The Journal of Industrial Economics, 1981
SEVERAL authors-among them Fisher and Viton [8], Keeler et al. [i2], Pozdena [I 7], and Small [22, 23] have pointed out the apparent superiority of bus transit over other forms of mass transit. The conclusions of these analyses rest on the following framework: in a given transportation market structure, consider the full costs of providing a trip of ...

Interrelated factor demands for manufacturing: A dynamic translog cost function approach

European Economic Review, 1989
Abstract In this paper we report the results of estimating a joint model for labour, capital and energy using the transcendental logarithmic cost function of Christensen, Jorgenson and Lau (1973). This allows us to determine both the own price and cross elasticities of substitution between labour, capital and energy.

The Translog Cost Function and Import Demand: The Case of Mexico

Southern Economic Journal, 1994
The purpose of this paper is to estimate for Mexico an aggregate transcendental logarithmic cost function which includes imports as a factor of production. The nature of Mexico's demand for imports will be given particular attention, since this relationship has implications for the outcomes of many government policies, including changing tariff rates ...

A Translog Cost Function Analysis of U.S. Agriculture, 1939–77

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1982
AbstractThe translog cost function provides a convenient framework for analyzing U.S. agricultural production in a multioutput context. Treating crops and livestock as two distinct outputs, this study utilizes standard results of neoclassical duality theory to obtain measures of pairwise elasticities of substitution between inputs, price elasticities ...
