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,...

Returns to scale. A production function has constant returns to scale with respect to inputs with inputs K and L if for any z > 0: F(z · K, z ·L) = zF(K, L), For example, for a production function with constant returns to scale, doubling the amount of each input (i.e., setting z = 2) will lead to a doubling of the output from the production function. A production function has increasing returns to scale if for any z >1: F(z ·...
