SELECTING FUNCTIONAL FORM IN PRODUCTION FUNCTION ANALYSIS

Ronald C. Griffin, John M. Montgomery and M. Edward Rister

Western Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1987, vol. 12, issue 2, 12

Abstract: Functional form selection is a sometimes neglected aspect of applied research in production analysis. To provide an improved and uniform basis for form selection, a number of traditional and popular functional forms are catalogued with respect to intrinsic properties. Guidelines for the conduct of form selection are also discussed.
