Conventional Production Functions Versus Energy-Term Production Functions: Energy Used for Crop Production in Midwest Agriculture
… one of the most important inputs in agricultural production. Increased energy usage in the form of machine, inorganic fertilizers and chemicals has drastically increased the productive potential of U.S. farms. Inasmuch as agricultural production is energy dependent, it is also susceptible to …

The Estimation of Household Production Functions: An Improved Way to Examine Production in the Nonmarket Sector
In the economic literature, two schools of thought about the behavior of households have emerged. The premise of the first group is that people behave rationally and entirely according to economic principles. The second school of thought holds that (1) rationality involves a careful consideration …

Regulatory intricacies that confer temporal control of conjugation and antibiotic production functions in Streptomyces: new variations on old themes
… mycelium stage of development while antibiotic production occurs in the aerial mycelium. Thus, complex regulatory mechanisms involving numerous modes of control have evolved that confer temporal regulation of functions governing these expression programs. Conjugation of the Streptomyces lividans …

Economic performance of architectural firms: an application of production theory
This dissertation explores the application of production theory to architectural firms. The basis of production theory, upon which all else depends and emerges from, is the production function. The production function is simultaneously a mathematical representation of the arrangements of inputs …

An economic analysis of commercial egg production
… industry. The study was in two phases. Egg production functions were estimated for flocks with particular combinations of management practices and equipment. Analysis of variance was used to determine the particular combinations of building, equipment, and management practices. Least squares …

Production function for the industrial sector of Indonesia
… of this thesis is to quantitatively analyze the production features of the Indonesian manufacturing sector. In particular, using concepts from traditional neoclassical theory of the firm, attention is focused on such aspects as returns to scale and the elasticity of factor substitution. Some …

Impacts of investment in agricultural research on value-added for selected commodity groups
… to the commonly used aggregate output production function approach is to calculate returns based on estimates from a value-added production function. Value added is the value of consumed inputs in the production process subtracted from the value of total production. The value-added …
