The Econometric Specification of Input Demand Systems Implied by Cost Function Representations [PDF]
In the case of input demand systems based on specification of technology by a Translog cost function, it is common to estimate either a system of share equations alone, or to supplement them by the cost function.

An Empirical Analysis of Mark-ups in the Argentine Manufacturing Sector [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper, we estimate mark-ups with plant level production data for Argentina from a structural model of cost-minimizing producers, as proposed by De Loecker and Warzynski (2012). We explore systematic differences across industries and plants.
