Proxy Variable Estimation of Multiproduct Production FunctionsJEL codes

摘要
En 中文
Productivity studies that use proxy variable estimators routinely specify single-output production functions despite most firms producing multiple outputs. This is usually accomplished by aggregating the firm's outputs using total revenue. Such a formulation rarely provides an adequate representation of the multiproduct firm's production: (a) it cannot identify technological cross-output trade-offs along the production possibilities frontier, and (b) it unrealistically assumes perfect output substitutability that, if misspecified, produces biased estimates. We develop a new methodology for estimating multiproduct production functions that addresses these limitations without requiring information beyond that which is available in most datasets and showcase it on Norwegian dairy-and-beef farming.
