American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1988, vol. 70, issue 2, 303-310

Abstract: U.S. agricultural technology and technical change are analyzed nonparametrically under cost minimization and profit maximization. Based on annual data for 1948–83, various separability hypotheses concerning the aggregate production function for U.S. agriculture are investigated. The proposed nonparametric approach also provides some insights into the nature of technical change.
