This paper constructs China’s capital stock, which is used in conjunction with a labor variable to estimate a Cobb-Douglas production function for the Chinese economy. Two panels of data are used – one for capital formation and one for sources of investment finance. Both national and provincial data are used for these two panels, thus giving a total of four capital-stock series. The Cobb-Dougla...

Revenue optimization of large data centers is an open and challenging problem. The intricacy of the problem is due to the presence of too many parameters posing as costs or investment. This paper proposes a model to optimize the revenue in cloud data center and analyzes the model, revenue and diiferent investment or cost commitments of organizations investing in data centers. The model uses the...

Background Determinants of health or health production function in health economics literature constitute noticeable issues in health promotion. This study aimed at estimating a health production function for East Mediterranean Region (EMR) based on the Grossman theoretical model.   Methods This ecological study was performed using the econometric methods. The panel data model was used in order...

This paper studies the effects of heteroscedasticity on the following five types of estimators: (1) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) per se as well as DEA joined to regression forms, (2) Corrected Ordinary Least Squares based on maximum residual (COLS-R), (3) Corrected Ordinary Least Squares based on moments of residuals (COLS-M), (4) Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), and (5) Goal Programming...

Two major degradations, edge displacement and comer erosion, change the appearance of bilevel images. The displacement of an edge determines stroke width, and the erosion ofa comer affects crispness. These degradations are functions of the system parameters: the point spread function (PSF) width and functional form, and the binarization threshold. Changing each of these parameters will affect a...

Although a number of different models have been suggested for the process that brings workers and firms together in the labour market, none of these performs well in empirical studies of the aggregate matching function. Empirically, the most successful functional form is Cobb-Douglas, for which there are no microfoundations in the existing literature. I present a new model for the matching proc...

With the gradual transformation of traditional agriculture into modern agriculture, agricultural mechanization has played a very important role in contribution rate whole people’s economy Jiangxi Province. Because wide application Cobb-Douglas (C-D) production function western economics, many scholars have used this method practice recent years. By establishing C-D model, data Province from 200...

The main purpose of this study is to analyse the long-term relationship between economic growth and economic, social political globalization in BRICS-T countries using panel data analysis methods for period covering 1990-2014. According empirical results model established based on Cobb-Douglas production function, it seen that social, capital accumulation have a positive effect growth. Dumitres...

Cockroach antennae have been extensively used for studying the multifunctional sensory appendage that generates the olfactory, gustatory, tactile, thermal, and humidity senses. Of the variety of senses, the tactile sense is thought to play a key role for perceiving physical objects. Because most cockroach species are nocturnal, the tactile sense of the antenna would be essential to determine th...
