Real money balances in production function a translog profit function approach
, 1998 ABSTRACT REAL MONEY BALANCES IN PRODUCTION FUNCTION: A TRANSLOG PROFIT FUNCTION APPROACH Mahmut İlerisoy M.A. in Economics Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Syed Fakhre Mahmud September 1998 This thesis examines the role of real money balances in production function as a factor. A transcendental logarithmic (translog) profit function is estimated with share
