Abstract: Data on lease rates for transferable output quotas allow implicit, measurements of marginal costs. Regression of these costs on quantities of quota allows identification and estimation of parameters of the marginal cost function. Econometric analysis of sixty tobacco counties for eight recent years yields implied supply elasticities of about 3.3.
