How Important Is Land as a Production Factor for Japanese Manufacturing Industries?
Ogawa, K. - Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), Osaka … - 1996
We analyse the contribution of land to production activity for Japanese manufacturing industries employing panel data of the firms. Since land is not necessarily held for production purpose, we check the concavity of the cost function to see whether production is conducted efficiently.

La théorie évolutionniste du changement économique de Nelson et Winter. Une analyse économique réprospective
Arena, Richard; Lazaric, Nathalie - In: Revue économique 54 (2003) 2, pp. 329-354
The aim of this article is to underline the development of the Evolutionary Theory starting from the original book of Nelson and Winter [1982]. This book is inspired by the Shumpeterian and Simonian traditions even if these authors are abandoning some of their core hypothesises. Nelson and...

A note on concavity, homogeneity and non-increasing returns to scale
Prada-Sarmiento, Juan David - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
This paper provides a simple proof of the result that if a production function is homogeneous, displays non-increasing returns to scale, is increasing and quasiconcave, then it is concave. If the function is strictly quasiconcave or one-to-one, homogeneous, displays decreasing returns to scale...

Las empresas en Santa Cruz, ¿continúan en una estructura monocéntrica?
Salazar, Xavier; Atienza, Miguel - In: Revista Latinoamericana de Desarrollo Economico (2010) 13, pp. 59-90
Este trabajo contrasta la hipótesis de que, en la ciudad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), las empresas continúan concentradas de forma monocéntrica. Para ello se estima un modelo estadístico que compara densidades locales para contrastar la hipótesis monocéntrica. Los índices de...

On modeling pollution-generating technologies
Murty, Sushama; Russell, R. Robert; Levkoff, Steven B. - Business School, University of Exeter - 2011
Distinguishing between intended ("good") production and unintended or residual ("bad") generation, we introduce the concept of by-production. In by-production technologies, pollution is an output that satises a "costly disposability" assumption and violates standard free disposability with...

On the properties of an emission-generating technology and its parametric representation
Murty, Sushama - Business School, University of Exeter - 2012
We propose a set of comprehensive axioms that seek to capture our intuitive understanding of the properties of an emission-generating technology (EGT). We show that an EGT that satises these axioms can be parametrically represented by more than one implicit production function that are derived...

Adjustment Costs and the Identification of Cobb Douglas Production Functions
Bond, Stephen; Söderbom, Måns - Department of Economics, Oxford University - 2005
Cobb Douglas production function parameters are not identified from cross-section variation when inputs are perfectly 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...
