Homotheticity and Non-Radial Changes
Chambers, Robert; Mitchell, Thomas - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 15 (2001) 1, pp. 31-39
Färe and Mitchell(1992) have shown that cost functions for a multi-output firmobey a particular output-scaling law if and only if the underlyingproduction technology is ray-homothetic. Multi-output firms,however, frequently change their output mix in addition to theirscale. Therefore, it is...
