Product input--output (IO) tables are mainly constructed on the basis of product and/or industry technology assumptions. The choice is not trivial and deserves empirical analysis using input and output data at the level of establishments. This paper offers input--output compilers econometric...

The price-iso return locus for a regulated multiproduct firm shows all price vectors giving the rate of return permitted by regulation. The locus for any two products is shown to have both negatively and positively sloping segments. A price vector on a positively sloped segment is socially...

The main models to construct technical coefficients are the industry technology model and the commodity technology model. The former yields nonnegative coefficients and the latter fulfills nice theoretical properties, such as price invariance. Although the models are very different, this paper...

Nous rendons hommage aux contributions d’Anne P. Carter à l’analyse économique. Les modèles économiques standards, y compris les modèles input-output, considèrent la technologie comme donnée et ne s’interrogent pas sur la coexistence de différentes structures technologiques...

The standard measure of productivity growth is the Solow residual.Its evaluation requires data on factor input shares or prices.Since these prices are presumed to match factor productivities, the standard procedure amounts to accepting at face value what is supposed to be measured.In this paper...
