To help first- or second-year graduate students in economics apply their theoretical training, this paper shows how to solve a simple and intuitive computable general equilibrium (CGE) model using a calculator. Because this simplified Harberger model uses Cobb Douglas functional forms for...

Following the numerous arguments for and against the production functions, this research work tries to find out if the production functions, particularly the Cobb-Douglas and Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production functions holds for Nigeria using an annual time series data from...

Dating to the classic works of Alonso, Mills, and Muth, the production function for housing has played a central role in urban economics and local public finance. This paper provides a new flexible approach for estimating the housing production function which treats housing quantities and prices...
