Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to employ econometric models of production to develop tests of parametric restrictions for characterizing the structure of technology and changes in technology empirically. Our models are based on the translog production function in two outputs and two inputs and the translog price function in the corresponding prices. We consider restrictions on patterns of substitution and technical change implied by separability. We present empirical tests of each set of restriction for time series data of the Federal Republic of Germany for the period 1950 - 1973.
