A Specification of VES Production Function Model

VES 생산함수 추정을 위한 모형설정

Zellner, Kmenta, Dreze (1966) and later Hedges (1969) showed that consistent estimates of the parameters of Cobb-Douglas or CES production functions can be obtained by the single equation estimation methods if the models incorporate the assumption that firms maximize the mathematical expectation of profits. This note demonstrates that the results of the above-cited works can be extended to a class of VES production function models.
