Scale, Skill-Mix, and Access Implications of the Production of Appointments by Primary Care Practices in England. [PDF]
Health EconABSTRACT Primary medical care has traditionally been provided by small organisations. Recent policy developments in many countries have encouraged larger practices in the hope of benefiting from increasing returns to scale, but there is little research evidence to support this.

Investigation of Japanese electricity industry using a CGE model of translog function
Journal of Economic Structures, 2019 CGE models are usually used for policy analysis. The conventional CGE models use CES function because of being a convenience for modeling. Moreover, some of the CGE models use a multi-CES function to model the multi-layered production process.

Production Technology Differences Between Canadian-Owned and Foreign-Owned Firms Using Translog-Production Functions [PDF]
, 1982 The discussion of foreign ownership in Canada frequently refers to a conventional view that foreign-owned firms are larger, more capital-intensive, pay higher wages and are more efficient. Evidence for these characterizations has unfortunately come from comparisons of partial productivity measures of labor or measures of average capital-intensity, with
