Reliability of the Translog Cost Function : Some Theory & an Application to the Demand of Energy in French Manufacturing

Baccar, Sourour - 2014

We investigate the behavior of three versions of the translog cost function: the standard Log-quadratic version and two nonlinear versions with exponential and linear technical progress biases, respectively. Their performances are assessed according to three criteria: (i) on theoretical ground,...

Inverted-U relationship between innovation and survival : evidence from firm-level UK data

Guidi, Francesco; Solomon, Edna Maeyen; Trushin, Eshref; … - 2015

Theoretical and empirical work on innovation and firm survival has produced varied and often conflicting findings. In this paper, we draw on Schumpeterian models of competition and innovation and stochastic models of firm dynamics to demonstrate that the conflicting findings may be due to linear...
