Testing of Cobb-Douglas "myths" : an analysis with disaggregated production functions in Bangladesh agriculture

by Quazi Shahabuddin

Cobb-Douglas functional form has been widely used in estimating production function in traditional agriculture. In this article, the validity of the restrictions imposed by Cobb-Douglas functional form is tested vis-a-vis more general functional forms in a sample of small-holding farmers in Bangladesh. The test results show that the Cobb-Douglas restrictions are validated against both transcendental and translog functions for some agricultural products but not for some others. (DÜI-Sen)
