Milkfish, Chanos chanos, is one of the major inland cultured fish species in Taiwan. Variations land resources and climate have led to application two distinct culture practices milkfish polycultures with white shrimp, Penaeus indicus. This study applies a translog cost function model analyze production scale economy input demand price elasticity four polyculture systems different periods (OWC ...

Abstract A spatially analyse of the production structure and input choices for heating, sawmill, pulp sectors in Sweden is conducted using a panel data set includes quarterly period 2011 to 2016 across 21 counties. Focus on price substitution elasticities, scale effects technical change measures. single-output regional translog cost models developed estimated. The specification chosen its flexi...

This paper examines the profit efficiency of banks in Bangladesh using stochastic frontier analysis. The is prepared based on secondary data only and sample contains from 25 including state owned private conventional year 2011 to 2020. Translog function has been employed construct Battese Coelli 1995 (BC95) model used determine efficiency. performance reveals that, average, are 80.73% efficient...

in this study, first we evaluate the total amount of support for domestic cotton (ams) for the years 1988 to 1999. then, using time series data for the study years, translog cost function was constrained. having calculated the price elasticity of demand for farm inputs, farmers’ reactions to price changes due to the price liberalization were identified. the results of study showed that in the w...

This paper analyzes short-run interfuel substitution between fossil fuels in West European power generation. The problem is studied within a restricted translog cost model, which is estimated by pooling time-series data across eight countries in West Europe. The empirical results indicate that interfuel substitution in existing power plants is substantial, especially that between oil and gas. T...

This study performed a panel data analysis of Pakistan’s nine major sub-industries in the years 1980–2019. The primary objective was to conduct disaggregate substitution elasticity inputs different industries, including textile, mining and currying, manufacturing, fuel extraction, electricity, gas, water supply, using translog production function. used function estimate output elasticities for ...

the most costly operation in the oil exploration is the well network drilling. one of the most effectiveways to reduce the cost of drilling networks is decreasing the number of the required wells byselecting the optimum situation of the rig placement. in this paper, balas algorithm is used as a modelfor optimizing the cost function in oil well network, where the vertical and directional drillin...

Abstract This study presents a random coefficients stochastic frontier model that can accommodate the flexible translog functional form without being computationally demanding and thus time consuming to estimate. is achieved by restricting second-order parameters be common all firms. For comparison, models with Cobb–Douglas, semi-translog specifications firm-specific are estimated. The applied ...
