The Cobb-Douglas Production Function: An Antipodean Defence?
In this paper a re-examination of the original time-series data sets used by Professor Douglas and associated researchers to establish the existence of an aggregate production function is undertaken. Particular attention is paid to the issue of whether the data provide deductive support for the ‘Laws of Production’ as claimed by Douglas (1948). Various statistical methods are used to analyse th...
متن کاملFitting of Cobb-Douglas Production Functions: Revisited
The set of Cobb-Douglas production functions is usually fitted by first linearizing the models through logarithmic transformation and then applying method of least squares. However, this procedure is valid only when the underlying assumption of multiplicative error-terms is justified. Unfortunately, this assumption is rarely satisfied in practice and accordingly, the results obtained are of dou...
متن کاملAn Assessment of CES and Cobb-Douglas Production Functions
This paper surveys the empirical and theoretical literature on macroeconomic production functions and assesses whether the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) or the CobbDouglas specification is more appropriate for use in the CBO’s macroeconomic forecasts. The Cobb-Douglas’s major strengths are its ease of use and its seemingly good empirical fit across many data sets. Unfortunately, the...
متن کاملAlgebraic Production Functions and Their Uses Before Cobb-Douglas
the production function relates total product P to the labor L, capital C, land T (terrain), and other inputs that combine to produce it. The function expresses a technological relationship. It describes the maximum output obtainable, at the existing state of technological knowledge, from given amounts of factor inputs. Put differently, a production function is simply a set of recipes or techni...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption in a Stochastic Ramsey Model with Cobb-Douglas Production Function
A stochastic Ramsey model is studied with the Cobb-Douglas production function maximizing the expected discounted utility of consumption. We transformed the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the stochastic Ramsey model so as to transform the dimension of the state space by changing the variables. By the viscosity solution method, we established the existence of viscosity so...
