Abstract

Consistent specifications of the allocative inefficiency function in cost plus input share equations systems may be difficult, if not impossible, to find because most plausible ones violate certain reasonable a priori conditions. Moreover, the models to which they lead give rise to highly non-linear likelihood functions that are very hard to estimate.
