Pseudo Data: A Tool for Teaching Production Economics

Thomas Hertel and Lance McKinzie

No 278926, 1984 Annual Meeting, August 5-8, Ithaca, New York from American Agricultural Economics Association (New Name 2008: Agricultural and Applied Economics Association)

Abstract: It is argued that a "laboratory" data set would greatly facilitate the teaching of graduate-level production economics. Development of a process model and an optimal experimental design for generating pseudo data are outlined. A translog, multiproduct profit function is estimated and the resulting net and gross elasticities are discussed.
