A “Cobb–Douglas” production function relates production (Q) to factors of production, capital (K), labor (L), and raw materials (M), and an error term u using the equation: ? = ???1??2M?3? ?, where ?, ?1, ?2, and ?3 are production parameters. a) Suppose that you have data on production and the factors of production from a random sample of firms with the same Cobb–Douglas production function. How would you propose to use OLS regression analysis to estimate the above production parameters,...

8.5. Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function Y = BILB2 KB where Y= output, L = labor input, and K = capital input. Dividing (1) through by K, we get (Y/K) = B.(L/KB2 KB2+B3-1 Taking the natural log of (2) and adding the error term, we obtain In (Y/K) = Bo + B2 In (L/K) + (B2+ B3 - 1) In K+u; (3) where Bo = In BI. a. Suppose you had data to run the regression (3). How would you...

Consider a profit maximizing firm that uses a Cobb-Douglas production function Y = AKαL 1−α and hires labor L at wage rate w and capital K at rental rate r. (1) Set up the profit-maximization problem of the firm and derive the first-order condition for the profit-maximizing choice of capital. (2) Show that the marginal product of capital is a decreasing function of capital. (3) Solve for the optimal choice of capital and show that the optimal choice of capital...

The Labor Share and Data The production function is Cobb-Douglas, Y = F (K, L) = ĀKαL1−α with Ā = 1, depreciation of δ = 0.07 savings rate of 20% and population growth of 1%. 1. Suppose you have data on the total payments to labor and GDP, take the ratio of labor payments over GDP, (wL)/Y, and show the parameter in the model this corresponds to. To answer this, you will have to use the perfect competition assumption that...

A firm has a Cobb-Douglas production function of Q = K^(0.25) L^(0.75) (a) Does this production technology exhibit increasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale? (b) Suppose that the rental rate of capital is r = 1, the wage rate is w = 1, and the ?rm wants to produce Q = 3. In the long-run, what combination of L and K should they use? (It would be good to practice doing this with the Lagrangian, even if you can...
