A Composite Cost Function for Multiproduct Firms With An Application to Economies of Scope in Banking
The composite cost function the authors propose combines a quadratic output structure with a log-quadratic input price structure and is well suited for examining economies of scope, subadditivity, and other important properties of multiproduct firms. To compare the composite model with an appropriate set of alternative functional forms, they develop a parsimonious--but general--specification that nests the standard translog cost function, the gen…

Information as a factor of production
This paper uses an econometric analysis to explore the technology associated with the use of information services in manufacturing industries. A study of the 1972 data for 51 manufacturing industries indicates that the assumption of constant unitary elasticity of substitution between capital and information is probably not appropriate. This causes one to doubt the appropriateness of the Cobb‐Douglas production function to model the relationship b…
Empirical Study of Scale Economies and Production Complementarity
An empirical study applying the theory of scale economies and inter-product complementarity. Several recently formulated concepts of the theory of scale economies are examined with the aid of estimates of cost functions, using data for publishers of scientific journals. In one case the observations are shown to fall near the outer limits of the range of declining costs, implying that neither amalgamation nor breakup of firms will reduce total cos…
