Specification and Estimation of Cobb-douglas Production Function Models' by A. Zellner, J. Kmenta and J. Dreze

چکیده
In this paper we consider the specification and estimation of the Cobb-Douglas production function model. After reviewing the "traditional" specifying assumptions for the model which are based on deterministic profit maximization, we develop a model in which profits are stochastic and in which maximization of the mathematical expectation of profits is posited. "Sampling theory" and Bayesian estimation techniques for this model are presented.

متن کاملA Cross-Country Empirical Investigation of the Aggregate Production Function Specification
Many growth models assume that aggregate output is generated by a Cobb-Douglas production function. In this article we question the empirical relevance of this specification. We use a panel of 82 countries over a 28-year period to estimate a general constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) production function specification. We find that for the entire sample of countries we can reject the Cobb...
