Adjustment costs and the identification of Cobb Douglas production functions

Bond, Steve; Söderbom, Måns - Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) - 2005

flexible and chosen optimally, and input prices are common to all firms. We consider the role of adjustment costs for inputs in … identifying these parameters in this context. The presence of adjustment costs for all inputs allows production function … fragile when adjustment costs are deterministic, but more useful in the case of stochastic adjustment costs. We illustrate …
