Calibration of normalised CES production functions in dynamic models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Normalising CES production functions in the calibration of basic dynamic models allows to choose technology parameters in an economically plausible way. When variations in the elasticity of substitution are considered, normalisation is necessary in order to exclude arbitrary effects. As an illustration, the effect of the elasticity of substitution on the speed of convergence in the Ramsey model is computed with different normalisations.

Appropriate Labor income and Capital gain tax rates functions extraction based on Overlapping Generation Models: Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach
In this study, using the overlapping generation (OLG (model and the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach, the optimal form of labor income tax rate and capital income tax functions is extracted for the economy of Iran using annual time series data during 1357 to 1397. The results of comparing the calibration and simulation of the designed model show that the optimal functions ...
متن کاملCalibration of CES functions for real-world multisectoral modeling
We show how to calibrate CES production and utility functions when indirect taxation affecting inputs and consumption is present. These calibrated functions can then be used in computable general equilibrium models. Taxation modifies the standard calibration procedures since any taxed good has two associated prices and a choice of reference value units has to be made. We also provide an example...
متن کاملComparison of Some Nonlinear Functions for Describing Broiler Growth Curves of Cobb500 Strain
This study was conducted to compare some nonlinear functions to describe the broiler growth curve of the Cobb500 strain. A flock of fifty one-day-old chicks were randomly selected from a henhouse of 2500 chicks. Our goal was to establish a growth curve using weighting data using mathematical solutions of time-dependent differential functions. In total, six equations were subjected to a statisti...
متن کاملThe Calibration of CES Production Functions
This note addresses some issues that arise when using “normalized” CES production functions, an approach that has become popular in the literature. The results of Klump and de La Grandville (2000) provide a simple way to calibrate the parameters of the CES production function when the necessary data are available. But some of the other applications of normalized CES production functions appear ...
متن کاملCalibrating disaggregate economic models of agricultural production and water management
This paper describes calibration methods for models of agricultural production and water use in which economic variables can directly interact with hydrologic network models or other biophysical system models. We also describe and demonstrate the use of systematic calibration checks at different stages for efficient debugging of models. The central model is the California Statewide Agricultural...
