Recent work has suggested plant level heterogeneity and discrete production processes can produce problems for estimation. A structural model of discrete production decisions by heterogeneous plants is constructed and, as a case study, estimated for the US Portland cement industry. In...

We prove a theorem on the existence of general equilibrium for a production economy with unordered preferences in a topological vector lattice commodity space. Our consumption sets need not have a lower bound and the set of feasible allocations need not be topologically bounded. Furthermore, we...

Both the theory and practice of using hedonic regressions to quality adjust inflation estimates are implicitly developed for monopolistic competitive markets. We demonstrate conditions required for consistent OLS estimation of hedonic regression for an oligopoly. To reflect firm heterogeneity,...

This paper studies the production and soil depletion choices of a risk averse farmer. The study applies a one period, two date model with uncertainty in both production and end-of-period land price. The farmer makes production, and soil depletion choices at date 1 to maximise the expected...
