Post by answerhappygod »

A production function for the U.S. data can be expressed as Yt = AKtb1Ltb2 where A = Total factor productivity
Yt = Real output (in constant 1900 dollars)
Kt = Quantity of capital (in constant 1900 dollars) Lt = Labor hours/week
This expression can be linearized by taking the natural logarithms of each side of this equation. Based on annual data for the U.S. manufacturing sector 1945-1994, a study estimates a production function using the logarithms of the data and obtains the following regression results,
Dependent Variable: lnYt
Coefficient Value
Standard Error of the Slope

Intercept (b0) lnKt (b1) lnLt (b2)
