Abstract: Abstract In two trailblazing articles (1949, 1953) Hollis B. Chenery introduced the concept of ‘engineering production functions’. The articles presented an attempt to construct empirical production function ‘from engineering calculations rather, than from statistical examination of plant observations’ (1953, p. 297).
