Abstract

In this paper, we explore the usefulness of nonparametric methods in the investigation of production behavior and the estimation of price elasticities of output supply and input demand functions. The approach can handle the situation where some data points are not consistent with production theory. The method is illustrated by estimating supply-demand elasticities of outputs and inputs in U.S. agriculture.
