INTRODUCTION Hospitals are the most expensive health services provider in the world. Therefore, the evaluation of their performance can be used to reduce costs. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of the hospitals at the Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). METHODS This was a cross-sectional and retrospective study that assessed ...

The actual scientific problem in machine learning is the development of new interpretable mathematical models, as well methods and programs for their construction. Many well-known regression models have good interpretative properties, example, linear power (Cobb – Douglas production functions). Previously, author developed non-elementary regressions, constructing which was reduced to mixed inte...

Cobb Douglas production function parameters are not identi…ed from crosssection variation when inputs are perfectly ‡exible and chosen optimally, and input prices are common to all …rms. We consider the role of adjustment costs for inputs in identifying these parameters in this context. The presence of adjustment costs for all inputs allows production function parameters to be identi…ed, even i...

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...

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...
