Testing Hypotheses of Functional Structure: Some Rules for Determining Flexibility of Restricted Production Models
提出规则,帮助判断生产函数在施加齐次性、位似性和可分离性等参数限制后是否仍保持灵活性。应用这些规则后发现,许多二阶“灵活”形式实际上比以往认为的更不灵活。
Abstract Rules are proposed to help determine whether a production function maintains flexibility under parametric restrictions required to impose homogeneity, homotheticity, and forms of separability. After imposing restrictions and applying the rules, many second‐order “flexible” forms are found to be more inflexible than formerly believed.
