Analyzing Industrial Water Demand in India: An Input Distance Function Approach
Kumar, Surender - eSocialSciences - 2009
This study investigates the water demand of Indian manufacturing plants. It adopts an input distance function approach and approximates it by a translog form. Duality between cost function and input distance function is exploited to retrieve information concerning substitutability and the shadow...

Building aggregate timber supply models from individual harvest choice
Polyakov, Maksym; Wear, David N.; Huggett, Robert - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2009
Timber supply has traditionally been modelled using aggregate data. In this paper, we build aggregate supply models for four roundwood products for the US state of North Carolina from a stand-level harvest choice model applied to detailed forest inventory. The simulated elasticities of pulpwood...

La spesa sanitaria Ssn in Italia e nel Lazio. Ricostruzione con la metodologia Ecofin-Ocse, 1990 - oggi
SALERNO, Nicola Carmine - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
Ecofin and Oecd methodology is used to reconstruct the historical evolution of public current health care expenditure for Italy and Lazio (an Italian Region). The reconstructed evolutions allow to detect what have been the per-capita expenditures per age brackets in absolute values (Euro) in...

A Toolkit for Optimizing Functions in Economics
Goffe, William L. - EconWPA - 1997
Optimization algorithms must be among the most common numerical methods used by economists. Yet, there is surprisingly little guidance on choosing the appropriate one. This problem is most notable with regard to conventional versus global optimizers. Typically, a global optimizer is used when a...

Estimation of Dynamic Models with Nonparametric Simulated Maximum Likelihood
Kristensen, Dennis; Shin, Yongseok - School of Economics and Management, University of Aarhus - 2008
We propose a simulated maximum likelihood estimator for dynamic models based on non-parametric kernel methods. Our method is designed for models without latent dynamics from which one can simulate observations but cannot obtain a closed-form representation of the likelihood function. Using the...
