Generalization of Nonparametric Tests for Homothetic Production

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1996, vol. 78, issue 3, 542-546

Abstract: The nonparametric tests for homotheticity proposed by Hanoch and Rothschild and by Varian (1984) are a special case of the tests proposed in this paper. The previous tests are generalized by relaxing the linear homogeneity assumption. A range for the degree of homogeneity as well as a region for the input demands are constructed using a dual approach. Copyright 1996, Oxford University Press.
