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 ...

Translog Production Function - A Review of Literature

Artha Vijnana: Journal of The Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, 1983
Over the last fifty years an extensive amount of literature has developed centering around the theory of production. Earlier research work in this area concentrated largely on a few specific functional forms for the production relationship, the two most popular being the Cobb-Douglas and CES models (Cobb-Douglas (1928) and Arrow and others (1961).

Environmental efficiency measurement with translog distance functions: A parametric approach

Ecological Economics, 2009
We introduce new specifications and estimation procedures of traditional distance functions that allow researchers to undertake environmental efficiency and productivity studies within a parametric stochastic framework. Relying on a translog distance function specification that treats the outputs' vector asymmetrically by allowing equiproportional ...

A Translog Cost Function Analysis of U.S. Agriculture: 1948-1999

2003
This 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).

The CES‐‐Translog Production Function, Returns to Scale and AES

Bulletin of Economic Research, 2001
The translog functional form imposes no a priori restrictions on the substitution possibilities between the factor inputs, by relaxing the assumption of strong separability, and the CES–translog cost function specification allows for testing homothetic technology with Hicks‐neutral technical change.

Energy demand models based on the translog and CES functions

Energy, 1981
Abstract The translog function is a flexible form but does not have good global properties. The CES function has good global properties but is not a flexible form. For energy demand models that should be valid in a large domain, global properties are important. The translog function provides a second-order approximation to the cost function, a first-

Measuring Scale Efficiency from a Translog Production Function

Journal of Productivity Analysis, 1999
In parametric analysis based on a frontier production function, usually the scale elasticity rather than scale efficiency level is reported. In this paper we show how one can use an estimated translog production function to obtain output- and input-oriented measures of scale efficiency at an observed input bundle.

Translog Cost Function: An application for Bangladesh Agriculture

Asian Accounting and Auditing Advancement, 2011
This study is concerned with factor substitution in Bangladesh agriculture. The translog cost function is used to study both substitutability and complementarity relationships between inputs. Using homothetic structure, the Allen partial elasticities of substitution (AES) is estimated to examine the nature of factor substitution among the four inputs ...

Translog Flexible Functional Forms and Substitutability of Monetary Assets

Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 1988
This article attempts to establish the nature of the relationship between monetary assets by estimating a sequence of four nested demand systems: the generalized translog, the basic translog, the linear translog, and the homothetic translog. The principal attraction of the empirical work is that I am able to test separately for both homothetic and ...
