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

Inter-fuel substitution possibilities in South Africa: A translog production function approach

Energy, 2017
This study applies the translog production function to investigate technical change and energy substitution possibilities among petroleum, coal and electricity over the period 1980–2012. Ridge regression technique is introduced to correct for multicollinearity in the data.

Estimate of the elasticities of substitution of the CES and translog production functions in Tunisia

International Journal of Economics and Business Research, 2015
On the basis of the CES and translog production functions, this study compares the degrees of capital-labour substitution of a developing country. In order to change the tradition of some modellers, we try to present estimates of substitution elasticity caused by these two production functions applied to the Tunisian economy.

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).

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.

Contemporary Production Theory, Duality, Elasticities of Substitution, the Translog Production Function and Agricultural Research

1985
The purpose of this publication is explore some of the implications of recent work dealing with duality, elasticities of substitution, and translog specifications of production functions for agricultural research. These theoretical developments have a broad-based applicability to research in production economics and demand analysis for agricultural ...
