Proportional Response as Iterated Cobb-Douglas
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the proportional response algorithm for computing an economic equilibrium in a Fisher market model can be interpreted as iteratively approximating the economy by one with Cobb-Douglas utilities, for which a closed-form equilibrium can be obtained. We also extend the method to allow elasticities of substitution at most one.

Forecasting Capital Investment for Fixed-Telephony Network Switching Equipment in Tandem with NGN Migration Using Cobb-Douglas Model
This paper tries to estimate the capital investment required for the fixed-telephony network switching equipment as demanded by the fourth national development plan. As a first step, the Cobb-Douglas model is used as a successful demand forecasting model to estimate the demand over the target years. Then, an architectural plan is developed for the fixed-telephony switching network that takes in...

متن کاملUncertainty and Capacity Constraints: Reconsidering the Aggregate Production Function
The Cobb–Douglas function is today one of the most widely adopted assumptions in economic modeling, yet both its theoretical and empirical bases have long been under question. This paper builds an alternative function on very different (albeit also neoclassical) microfoundations aimed at both addressing those theoretical drawbacks and providing a better empirical fit than the Cobb–Douglas formu...
متن کاملAn Assessment of CES and Cobb-Douglas Production Functions
This paper surveys the empirical and theoretical literature on macroeconomic production functions and assesses whether the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) or the CobbDouglas specification is more appropriate for use in the CBO’s macroeconomic forecasts. The Cobb-Douglas’s major strengths are its ease of use and its seemingly good empirical fit across many data sets. Unfortunately, the...
متن کاملComparing Estimations of Return to Scale in Mechanized and Semi-Mechanized Broiler Chick Farms Located in Gorgan City
Quantitative analysis of production through evaluation of inputs consumption quantity is of main principles in agricultural policies, which is followed by increasing in production through optimal use of resources. This study has been conducted to estimate different types of production functions in mechanized farms of broiler chicks located in Gorgan city. Cross-section survey data were gathered...
