A Note On Some Difficulties In Response Analysis

Author

Listed:
  • Anderson, Jock R.

Abstract

Some empirical problems which tend to receive inadequate attention in response analysis are discussed. These include the variation not explained by fitted production functions, the sensitivity of optima and profits to price changes, the cost of developing production functions and the value in using them.
