Imposing Curvature Conditions on Flexible Functional Forms for GNP Functions
@article{Nana2012ImposingCC, title={Imposing Curvature Conditions on Flexible Functional Forms for GNP Functions}, author={Guy Chapda Nana and B. Larue}, journal={Economic Growth eJournal}, year={2012} }
This paper empirically investigates the implications of the imposition of convexity in output prices and concavity in factor endowments on flexible functional forms for the GNP function. Using macroeconomic data for Switzerland, we estimate the Translog and the Symmetric Normalized Quadratic forms to investigate the manner with which curvature restrictions are imposed, the extend of curvature violations and the robustness of estimated elasticities. We also compare the predictive accuracy of the… Expand
