Additive General Error Models for Production, Cost, and Derived Demand or Share Systems
Open accessAbstract
Many empirical studies of production specify a deterministic model of the firm, derive the implied behavioral equat ions (input demand or share system), and then "embed this system in a stochastic framework" by tacking on linear error terms. In contras t, this paper proposes general error models (GEMs) in which the error specification is an integral part of the optimization model. These m odels are the statistical embodiment of Stigler's view that apparent observed inefficiencies reflect the investigator's ignorance of the t rue optimization problems. Additive GEMs are proposed and interpreted Specification tests indicate that a translog additive GEM is superi or to the standard translog specification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
