A Nonparametric Investigation of Agricultural Production Behavior for U.S. Subregions
用非参数方法检验1939-1982年美国及十个农业区的生产行为是否违背利润最大化、技术凸性和单调非倒退技术变化的联合假设。
Abstract This research provides an empirical application of nonparametric techniques to determine whether agricultural production behavior in the United States and ten farm production regions over the period 1939 to 1982 has been inconsistent with the joint hypothesis of profit maximization, convex technology, and monotonic nonregressive technical change.
