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.

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).

The Translog Production Function and Variable Returns to Scale

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1992
This paper examines existing methods of estimating the translog production function and provides a general framework that allows for variable returns to scale. The model is based on the inverse input demand function and embeds a nonhomothetic production technology. Previous estimation methods are valid only for homogeneous technologies with fixed scale

ESTIMATES OF COBB-DOUGLAS AND TRANSLOG PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS FOR MILK

1985
The results of this paper suggest that a modified translog function (MTL) is a suitable functional form to model milk production. Marginal products estimated from the MTL. model are, in general, quite similar to their Cobb- Douglas (C-D) counterparts.

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.
