Simple Microfoundations for Cobb-Douglas Matching Functions
This paper derives a Cobb-Douglas matching function as the aggregate of the number of matches made by each firm in a large economy using results from the theory of heavy tail distributions. The model is then calibrated using the empirical distribution of firm sizes and stylized facts about social networks.The implied elasticity of the matching function is found to be close to those reported by ...
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 کاملA theorem on homogeneous functions and extended Cobb-Douglas forms.
A form for homogeneous functions is presented which shows them to be a very simple extension of the wellknown Cobb-Douglas functions with similar properties in production (and distribution) economics. This form thus suggests new possibilities for interpreting a wide variety of empirical and theoretical results in economics; it also provides contact with developments in other fields, such as inf...
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...
