Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contributions to Economic Analysis: Production Economics: A Dual Approach to Theory and Applications, Volume 2 focuses on the theory of production from the standpoint of the "dual", the relationships between economic observables which are dual to physical technology. The selection first ponders on duality, intermediate inputs and value-added, Hicks' aggregation theorem and the existence of a real value-added function, and homotheticity and real value-added in Canadian manufacturing. Discussions focus on real value-added and the production structure, estimation of the production structure, double deflation and real value-added, measurement of total productivity, and duality between direct and conditional indirect utility functions. The book then examines the estimation techniques for the elasticity of substitution and other production parameters and measurement of the elasticity of factor substitution and bias of technical change. The publication takes a look at the identification of technical change in the electricity generating industry, factor substitution in electricity generation, and the effectiveness of rate-of-return regulation. Topics include statistical tests of regulatory effectiveness, profit function for a regulated firm, tests of the structure of technology, identification problems in the measurement of technical change, and measurement of disembodied technical change. The selection is a valuable source of information for economists and researchers interested in production economics.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Using confidential individual firm data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis survey of U.S. firms' manufacturing operations abroad, we investigate the determinants of capital intensity in affiliate operations. Host country labor cost, the scale of host country production, and the capital intensity of the parent firm's production in the United States, are all significant influences. The parent's capital intensity is the strongest and most consistent determinant of affiliate capital intensity. Affiliates that export are more sensitive to these factors in their choice of factor proportions than affiliates that sell only in their host countries"--NBER website

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses the unique matched individual parent and affiliate data from the foreign investment survey of the Bureau of Economic Analysis to examine how US firms of different industries and capital intensities at home adapt to lower costs of labour and other host-country characteristics in their foreign production. We find that foreign affiliates of US multinationals carry their parent firms technology with them in producing abroad. That is, affiliates of capital-intensive parents produce in a relatively capital-intensive manner wherever they are located. Despite these resemblances to their parents, affiliates produce in a more labour-intensive manner where labour is cheaper and also where the scale of production is small. We found no evidence that more labour-intensive firms selected production locations where labour was cheaper. Labour costs dominated the methods of production but not its location. Affiliates that export are more responsive in their factor proportions to the labour costs where they produced than affiliates selling only in their host countries. The probability that an affiliate would export, however, did not seem to be much affected by factor proportions. It was much more closely related to the scale of the affiliate's operations; larger affiliates were more likely to be exporters.

Download or read book Linear Programming and Economic Analysis written by Robert Dorfman and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-10 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed primarily for economists and those interested in management economics who are not necessarily accomplished mathematicians, this text offers a clear, concise exposition of the relationship of linear programming to standard economic analysis. The research and writing were supported by The RAND Corporation in the late 1950s. Linear programming has been one of the most important postwar developments in economic theory, but until publication of the present volume, no text offered a comprehensive treatment of the many facets of the relationship of linear programming to traditional economic theory. This book was the first to provide a wide-ranging survey of such important aspects of the topic as the interrelations between the celebrated von Neumann theory of games and linear programming, and the relationship between game theory and the traditional economic theories of duopoly and bilateral monopoly. Modern economists will especially appreciate the treatment of the connection between linear programming and modern welfare economics and the insights that linear programming gives into the determinateness of Walrasian equilibrium. The book also offers an excellent introduction to the important Leontief theory of input-output as well as extensive treatment of the problems of dynamic linear programming. Successfully used for three decades in graduate economics courses, this book stresses practical problems and specifies important concrete applications.
Download or read book A Study on the Theory of Production written by A.R.Prasad and published by Reliance Publishing House. This book was released on 2005 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional theory of economics has been formulated in mathematical terms and an increasing application of mathematical methods to nearly every branch of economics is increasingly witnessed. Mathematical economics has become an integral part of the syllabi in economics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Students of economics are also becoming acquainted with mathematics and are learning to use it in economics. Several new textbooks on mathematical treatment of micro-economics have been published but they do scant justice to the beginners by devoting only a few pages to the economic analysis of mathematical formulation. The basic problem is that of teaching economics in mathematical terms. The present textbook is intended for students of economics who possess some knowledge of both economics and mathematics. The selection of topics are indicated by economics, rather than mathematical content and the order of presentation is in consonance with the prescribed syllabi of numerous Indian Universities for undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The book also aims at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in economics who often wish to find how mathematics contributes to the understanding of familiar concepts in the theory of production. The object, therefore, is to make the book a self-teaching device that a careful student can work through and master. This does not make classroom teaching unnecessary, but it is certainly going to reduce considerable teaching burden from the teachers shoulders. It is hoped that the comprehensive treatment of the material covered will provide the students with the necessary modern techniques and general theoretical framework with which to approach and analyse the phenomena of production theory in micro-economics.
