Permutation tests on returns to scale and common production frontiers in nonparametric models

Rønn-Nielsen, Anders; Kronborg, Dorte; Asmild, Mette - 2022

Permutation techniques, where one recompute the test statistic over permutations of data, have a long history in statistics and have become increasingly useful as the availability of computational power has increased. Until now, no permutation tests for examining returns to scale assumptions,...

Experimental Estimates of Education Production Functions

Krueger, Alan B. - 2022

This paper analyzes data from Project STAR, an experiment in which 11,600 Tennessee kindergarten students and teachers were randomly assigned to one of three types of classes beginning in the 1985-86 school year: small classes (13-17 students), regular-size classes (22-25 students) teacher's...

Identification and Estimation of Production Functions for Multiproduct Firms

Chen, Zhiyuan; Liao, Moyu - 2022

functions and firm-product level productivity. We characterize a set of moment conditions using the multiproduct firm’s first …-order conditions and the productivity’s evolution process. We first show that the production functions are nonparametrically non …-identified without observing the input allocations. For parametric production functions, we formally prove that the Cobb …

Understanding the effect of cancer incidence on labour productivity in the UK : an empirical approach with a health augmented production function

Pycroft, Bradley; Vasilev, Aleksandar - 2022

This study represents a new way of looking at health, by investigating the effect of aggregate cancer incidence rates on labour productivity, using a macroeconomic methodology. The health of the labour force is a key determinant of labour productivity, with poor health comes both physical and...

Coping with Unobservables in Estimating Production Functions : An Example with US Banking Data

Swamy, P.A.V.B; Von zur Mühlen, Peter; Chang, I-Lok - 2022

This paper (i) derives a number of properties of a newly specified multi-input-single-output (MISO) production function with a derived error term, and (ii) using iteratively rescaled generalized least squares, presents estimates of the cross-sectionally varying coefficients of a...

Estimation of Rice Production Function in the Philippines Using Panel Data

Labasano, Amylyn - 2022

This study used panel data in analyzing the effects of the cost of machines, tools and equiptments; labor costs; quantity of fertilizer; cost of seeds/planting materials; cost of crop protection products; and irrigation fees on the yield per hectare of rice. Panel data were utilized using...

Estimating Rice Production Function in Mindanao : A Panel Data Analysis

Labasano, Amylyn - 2022

For more than half of humanity, rice is life. It is the grain that has shaped the cultures, diets, and economies of billions of people in Asia. Rice is so integral to Asian life that despite the differences in history, customs, and culture throughout Asia, the central role of rice is the one...

An investigation of productivity, profitability, and regulation in the Chilean water industry using stochastic frontier analysis

Molinos-Senante, María; Maziotis, Alexandros; … - In: Decision analytics journal 4 (2022), pp. 1-9

The firms’ performance assessment for regulation requires estimating profit change and its drivers. This study estimates and decomposes profit changes into components such as output and input price changes, output growth, and markups. Using the stochastic frontier analysis, we compute the...
