This paper addresses the relationship between technical change and the elasticity of substitution between factors of … production. It is shown how the elasticity within a CES production setting can change due to technical change. Technical change … elasticity changes due to technical choices for each of them. …

The elasticity of factor substitution between capital and labor is a crucial parameter in many economic fields. However …, we estimate a long-run elasticity in the range of 0.6 to 0.7. For all estimated elasticities the hypothesis of a Cobb …

Quantitative models for climate policy modeling differ in the production structure used and in the sizes of the elasticities of substitution. The empirical foundation for both is generally lacking. This paper estimates the parameters of two-level CES production functions with capital, labour and...

Sectoral heterogeneity is crucial to address several economic questions. This paper provides a detailed mapping of sectoral production possibility frontiers, using different nesting structures and levels of aggregation (primary, secondary, tertiary activities and energy-intensive firms)....
