In this paper we propose simulation based Bayesian inference procedures in a cost system that includes the cost function and the cost share equations augmented to accommodate technical and allocative inefficiency. Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques are proposed and implemented for Bayesian inferences on costs of technical and allocative inefficiency, input price distortions and over(under-) us...

This paper considers an econometric approach to measuring substitutability of three types of energy, i.e. crude oil, electricity and diesel with capital and labour in the manufacturing sector of Greek industry during the period 1970]1990. A general dynamic framework is developed under the assumption that the structure of the production process is weakly separable in capital, labour and energy a...

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of four tools that can be used to collect user activity data (UAD) in machine translation post-editing (PE) research: Tobii Studio, Translog-II, TransCenter, and PET. These tools are analysed here based on empirical data as a way of providing a picture of what the current state of research has to offer in terms of technology and investigation methods...

Rural-urban differences in the supply of nursing home services are hypothesized to be jointly affected by competitive and regulatory forces, government pohcies, and the cost structure. Study findings indicate that rural services are slightly less accessible and lower in quality. A translog cost share function reveals no difference in the operating cost structure of rural and urban homes. Cost s...

This work makes contributions regarding the knowledge of productive structure collective transport service in Mendoza Metropolitan Area (Argentina) during stage prior to a structural change its mobility system. The existence economies scale is studied through estimation translog cost function, using panel data for bus operating companies period 2005-2012. results this research show market that ...

Bayesian and frequentist criteria fundamentally differ, but often posterior sampling distributions agree asymptotically. For the corresponding single-draw experiment, we characterize size of a certain hypothesis test (possibly nonlinear) inequalities. If null is that parameter lies in specified half-space, then test’s equals α; if subset above otherwise, may be equal to, above, or below α. Reje...

This study aims to determine the method and type of self-corrections done by two professional translators in translating texts from English into bahasa Indonesia. research used a descriptive qualitative method. The data were recording advertisement Indonesia process using Translog II Camtasia Studio 8. findings are (1) Meaning Correction is most frequent self-correction with frequency 36.2%; (2...
