Abstract

We characterize the class of profit functions termed VIPS for "virtually ideal production system." VIPS is consistent with all derived demands being linear in numeric functions of output prices. A flexible but parsimonious version of the VIPS profit function is specified and the implied supply-response system is estimated using aggregate U.S. agricultural data.
