Estimating Multioutput Technologies

Robert G. Chambers and Richard Just

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1989, vol. 71, issue 4, 980-995

Abstract: This paper solves the problem of determining fixed but allocatable input allocations by dual methods. A flexible, profit function approach for estimating input-nonjoint technologies with allocatable fixed factors is developed. Variable input allocations can be calculated from the estimated technology. A correct test for input nonjointness that discriminates between true and apparent jointness is derived in a framework that permits fully linear estimation of a second-order flexible technology. To illustrate, these methods are applied to the Just-Zilberman-Hochman data set.
