Econometric modeling of technical change
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to econometric modeling of substitution and technical change. Substitution is determined by observable variables, such as prices of output and inputs and shares of inputs in the value of output. Our principal innovation is to represent the rate and biases of technical change by unobservable or latent variables. This representation is considerably more flexible than the constant time trends employed in the previous literature. An added advantage of the new representation is that the latent variables can be projected into the future, so that the rate and bias of technical change can be incorporated into econometric projections. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملLandscape change in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, Mexico: Modeling the driving forces of smallholder deforestation in land parcels
This article uses remote sensing and spatial modeling to quantify and analyze land change in Mexico’s largest protected area, the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. Change trajectories are identified within distinct property regimes and between the Reserve’s core and buffer zones. A parcel-level spatial econometric model identifies the driving forces of land use change in two communities located along...

متن کاملDynamic Housing Search Model Incorporating Income Changes, Housing Prices, and Life-Cycle Events
Modeling housing search behavior is a crucial component of land use modeling. Land use modeling from a specific point of view shares close ties with the transport system. As a result, housing search behavior has become an attractive research topic to travel demand modelers and continues to be a topic of interest to urban planners, geographers, and economists. This paper presents a conceptual fr...
متن کاملEstimating Technological Change Using a Stochastic Frontier Production Function Framework: Evidence from U.S. Firm-Level Data
This paper presents a methodology for estimating an index of technological change using firm-level data in a stochastic frontier production function model that takes into account time-varying technical inefficiency. In contrast to the Solow divisia index approach, econometric estimation of the index with panel data allows the researcher to separate technical progress from the stochastic measure...
