Measurement of a cost function for US airlines: restricted and unrestricted translog models [PDF]
Journal of Transport Literature, 2014 This paper continues and expands several themes from previous studies of commercial airline cost functions. A well specified industrial cost function reveals characteristics about the market players, such as economies of scale and the cost elasticities with respect to operational styles.

Choice of the empirical definition of zero in the translog multiproduct cost functional form [PDF]
Applied Economics Letters, 2016 ABSTRACTThe translog cost function is valuable to researchers for empirical analysis in themodelling of indirect cost and profit functions. A flaw of the functional form is in themodelling of zero output values. This study examined the impacts of empirical definition of zero output values on price elasticities, economies of scope and scale, using the ...
