Resource allocation and productivity of cereal state farms in Ethiopia
使用超越对数生产函数分析了1980-1985年埃塞俄比亚国有谷物农场的生产情况，发现农场规模报酬不变，人力利用不足而机械和现代投入过度使用，且劳动力与这些过度投入之间的替代弹性较低。
ABSTRACT Using a translog production function, cereal production on state farms in Ethiopia between 1980 and 1985 was analyzed. The farms were found to be operating at constant returns to scale. Manual labor was under‐utilized, while machinery and other modern inputs were over‐utilized. Elasticities of substitution between labor and these over‐utilized inputs were low.
