摘要: The concept of the profit function provides an alternative approach to analysis production. First, a brief exposition theory is presented. Then and factor demand functions are formulated within Cobb‐Douglas framework. A statiscal test devised for testing hypothesis constant returns scale in all factors on function. As application, both estimated jointly, using data from Indian agriculture.
