Exact tests on returns to scale and comparisons of production frontiers in nonparametric models
Rønn-Nielsen, Anders; Kronborg, Dorte; Asmild, Mette - 2019
When benchmarking production units by non-parametric methods like data envelopment analysis (DEA), an assumption has to … frontiers across samples of producers. Until now, no exact tests for examining returns to scale assumptions in DEA, or for test … test for the hypothesis of constant returns to scale in DEA. The others are tests for general frontier differences and …

An Improved Productivity Decomposition Approach to Understand Firm Dynamics and Aggregate Growth
Breunig, Robert V.; Wong, Marn-Heong - 2008
We propose a new decomposition method for analysing aggregate productivity changes. The main improvement in our proposed method is that we are clearly able to separate out pure productivity changes of a hypothetical average firm from changes in the share of output or value added between firms....

Why Is the Cobb-Douglas Production Function so Popular?
Balk, Bert M. - 2022
It is well known that, in continuous time, the Cobb-Douglas function can be derived from the underlying, data governing, accounting identity under some reasonable assumptions (factor shares are constant, and the weighted growth of the labour input price and the capital input price is constant)....

A General Model of Technical Change with an Application to the OECD Countries
Heshmati, Almas - 2011
In the neoclassical production functions model technical change (TC) is assumed to be exogenous and it is specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect the rate of TC. In this paper we model TC via a combination of time trend (purely...

Technical Change and Total Factor Productivity Growth : The Case of Chinese Provinces
Heshmati, Almas - 2010
In the literature technical change is mostly assumed to be exogenous and specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect technical change. In this paper we model technical change via time trend (purely external non-economic) as well as...
