Joint production and price uncertainty: hypothesis tests

Author

Abstract

This paper extends the existing estimation methods to allow empirical estimation and hypothesis testing under joint production and price uncertainty. Our approach modifies and expands the use of duality theory. Furthermore, our approach does not require the specification or estimation of the production/cost function. We apply the methodology to the U.S. manufacturing sector.
