A Translog Cost Function Analysis of U.S. Agriculture, 1939–77
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1982AbstractThe 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 ...

Investigating hospital efficiency in the new NHS: The role of the translog cost function
Health Economics, 1995AbstractThe reforms to the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) of recent years have greatly increased the role of economic incentives in the hospital sector. Hospitals now have to compete for the business of GP and health authority purchasers and are assumed to have an incentive to minimise costs.

The energy rebound effect in China's light industry: a translog cost function approach
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016Abstract China is in its industrialization and urbanization development stage, which requires strong energy support. With the largest population in the world, the energy endowment of China is relatively small. Therefore, energy conservation is one of the key tools for China's sustainable development and energy security.

A translog cost function of the integrated air freight business: The case of FedEx and UPS
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 2014Abstract This paper analyzes the cost structure of the integrated air freight business by means of a translog cost function. This allows to extend knowledge on the supply side and to examine if strategies of integrators are consistent with cost structure. The cost function is based on quarterly time-series data from 1990 to 2010 for FedEx and UPS.

Import Demand for India: A Translog Cost Function Approach
Economic Development and Cultural Change, 1984Most 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.

A Translog Cost Function Analysis of U.S. Agriculture: 1948-1999
2003This study examines the implications of the short-run specification of the standard, static translog cost function along with the possible implications of non-stationarity by estimating a dynamic translog cost specification complete with dynamic share equations for the U.S. using an empirical approach developed by Urga and Walters (2003).

Airline Code-share Alliances and Costs: Imposing Concavity on Translog Cost Function Estimation
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003This 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, 1981SEVERAL 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 ...
