Abstract:
This study is concerned with factor substitution in Bangladesh agriculture. The translog cost function is used to study both substitutability and complementarity relationships between inputs. Using homothetic structure, the Allen partial elasticities of substitution (AES) is estimated to examine the nature of factor substitution among the four inputs of land, labor, fertilizer, and irrigation. The responsiveness of input demand to input prices is explored by estimating own price and cross-price elasticities of demand. The empirical estimates indicate the existence of both substitutability and complementarity among inputs. A very high degree of substitutability between fertilizer and irrigation was found during the study period. JEL Classification Code: Q01, R10, D24, N55

Abstract:
This paper continues and expands several themes from previous studies of commercial airline cost functions. A well specified industrial cost function reveals characteristics about the market players, such as economies of scale and the cost elasticities with respect to operational styles. Using a translog specification, and its restricted first-order form, this paper updates previous parameter estimates, reworks the experimental design, and gives new analysis to describe the spectrum of choices facing airline firms in recent years. The translog model in this paper allows the energy cost share to interact with other variables and illuminate what factors may exacerbate cost sensitivity to energy prices, an advance in this specific area of interpretation. The result shows that fuel cost shares tend to be higher with older equipment, smaller fleet sizes, and to be increasing in aircraft size and seating density. The restricted first-order model indicates that older aircraft designs are more costly to operate, even accounting for operational style. This may imply that airlines with poorer access to capital suffer a cost disadvantage, particularly during a fuel spike - also a new contribution of the paper. Finally, the first-order model does not reject constant returns to scale (CRS) for fleet expansion, or increasing returns to scale (IRS) in aircraft size, which are the expected results.

Abstract:
A two-sector computable general equilibrium model is calibrated to the New Brunswick community of Petitcodiac using translog cost function regression analysis, and a questionnaire. Simulations are conducted for marginal reductions in both the price of lumber and the timber supply. We observe that both reductions have negative impacts on output and most production factors in the forest sector. Other production sectors tend to expand as production factors flow to where they receive their highest return. Results of this study indicate that the New Brunswick community is more (less) significantly impacted from timber supply (forest price) changes than a comparative study reports for a region in Alberta.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Finanças
Este trabalho analisa a eficiência dos Sistemas Centralizados de Valores Mobiliários (Central Securities Depositories (CSDs)) em relação aos custos, na Europa. As CSDs são organizações financeiras especializadas na guarda de títulos até à sua data de liquidação. A abordagem adotada assenta na estimação de custos que permita comparar a eficiência das instituições em análise. Também é analisado o impacto do programa Target2 - Securities (estabelecido pelo BCE) e do regulamento CSDR concebido para estas instituições. O primeiro tem como objetivo contribuir para remoção de barreiras à eficiência de custos na liquidação entre mercados financeiros, e o último a promoção da segurança, eficácia e competitividade dos mercados financeiros da UE. Por último, procura-se saber se existem economias de escala para cada CSD, dependendo do seu tamanho e país.
This work is based on the analysis of cost efficiency on European Central Securities Depositories (CSD's). These financial institutions are experts on holding securities and clearing them until its settlement date. Our approach is focused on cost estimation, in order to compare the efficiency of each institutions analyzed. In addition, we examine the impact of ongoing Target2 - Securities program (by the ECB) as well as the impact of the CSDR regulation made for these institutions. The first is a new European securities settlement engine that aims to contribute for removing the barriers for poor cost efficiency on cross-border settlement between financial markets, and the latter aims to promote the safety, effectiveness and competitiveness of the EU financial markets. Furthermore, the main objective is to find out if economies of scale exists for each CSD, depending on its size and country.

Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to introduce novel measure of real marginal cost in the New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) and compares its performance with conventional mea- sures such as output gap and labour share of income. Real marginal cost is derived from a flexible function whereas labour share is based on restrictive assumption of Cobb-Douglas technology. Dynamic correlations and results of NKPC indicate that real marginal cost is better than ad hoc measure of output gap and labour share. Given the heterogeneity in price setting behaviour across sectors, cost functions and NKPC are estimated for the agriculture, manufacturing and other sectors of Pakistan's economy. Real marginal cost is derived from static and dynamic cost functions. In the presence of adjustment costs, dynamic cost functions that are consistent and integrated with their static systems are required. Such dynamic translog cost functions are estimated after testing the theoretical properties and existence of long term relationships in the static functions. Cost attributes, marginal cost, total factor productivity, technological progress, demand and substitution elasticities are derived from static and dynamic functions. Three specifications of forward looking and hybrid form of the Phillips curves are estimated with real marginal cost, output gap and labour share. Results indicate that hybrid specifications perform better than the forward looking models in terms of goodness of fit and statistical significance. Further, comparison of Phillips curves estimated with real marginal cost, output gap and labour share indicate that real marginal cost performs better in explaining inflation dynamics in Pakistan. The results indicate that forward looking behaviour dominates and high level of nominal rigidities persists in Pakistan. Finally, hybrid form of the NKPC is estimated for a panel of sixteen Asian economies. With the consideration of heterogeneity and aggregation bias, the mean group, random coefficient and weighted average coefficients are derived from individual estimates. The unobserved time variant common factors cause cross correlation in the errors that may lead towards inconsistent estimates. Therefore, cross section averages of the explanatory and the dependent variables are augmented in hybrid specification to capture the effect of latent variables. Findings suggest that the discount factor is almost 0.94, the nominal rigidities are 33% and the weights of expected and past inflation are 66% and 33% respectively. Nominal rigidities of the Asian economies are lower than the estimates for US and Euro areas. The weights of expected and past inflation of the Asian economies are consistent with the US but lower than the estimates from the Euro areas.

Abstract:
RESUMO - Perante o actual contexto de contenção de gastos no sector da saúde e consequente preocupação com a eficiência do sistema, tem‐se assistido a mudanças várias no modelo de gestão e organizacional do sistema de saúde. Destaca‐se a alteração da estrutura hospitalar, com vista à racionalização dos seus recursos internos, onde as fusões hospitalares têm assumido um papel determinante. Em Portugal, nos últimos 10 anos, assistiu‐se a uma significativa redução do número de hospitais (de sensivelmente 90 para 50 unidades), exclusivamente através das fusões e sem quaisquer alterações no número de estruturas físicas existentes. Não obstante os argumentos justificativos desta reforma, a avaliação dos objectivos implícitos é insuficiente. Neste âmbito, pretendeu‐se com este estudo contribuir para a análise do impacte da criação de centros hospitalares na redução de gastos, isto é, verificar se a consolidação e consequente reengenharia dos processos produtivos teve consequencias ao nível da obtenção de economias de escala. Para esta análise usou‐se uma base de dados em painel, onde se consideraram 75 hospitais durante 7 anos (2003‐2009), número que foi reduzindo ao longo do período em análise devido às inúmeras fusões já referidas. Para avaliar os ganhos relativos às fusões hospitalares, ao nível da eficiência técnica e das economias de escala, recorreu‐se à fronteira estocástica especificada função custo translog. Estimada a fronteira, foi possível analisar três centros hospitalares específicos, onde se comparou o período pré‐fusão (2005‐2006) com o período após a fusão (2008‐2009). Como variáveis explicativas, relativas à produção hospitalar, considerou‐se o número de casos tratados e os dias de internamento (Vita, 1990; Schuffham et al., 1996), o número de consultas e o número de urgências, sendo estas variáveis as mais comuns na literatura (Vita, 1990; Fournier e Mitchell, 1992; Carreira, 1999). Quanto à variável dependente usou‐se o custo variável total, que compreende o total de custos anuais dos hospitais excepto de imobilizado. Como principais conclusões da investigação, em consequência da criação dos centros hospitalares, são de referir os ganhos de escala na fusão de hospitais de reduzida dimensão e com mais serviços complementares. --------ABSTRACT - Driven by the current pressure on resources induced by budgetary cuts, the Portuguese Ministry of Health is imposing changes in the management model and organization of NHS hospitals. The most recent change is based on the creation of Hospital Centres that are a result of administrative mergers of existing hospitals. In less than 10 years the number of hospitals passed from around 90 to around 50, only due to the mergers and without any change in the existing number of physical institutions. According to the political discourse, one of the main goals expected from this measure is the creation of synergies and more efficiency in the use of available resources. However, the merger of the hospitals has been a political decision without support or evaluation of the first experiments. The aim of this study is to measure the results of this policy by looking at economies of scale namely through reductions in the expenditures, as expected and sought by the MoH. Data used covers 7 years (2003‐2009) and 75 hospitals, number that has been reduced my the enoumerous mergers during the last decade. This work uses a stochastic frontier analysis through the translog cost function to examine the gains from mergers, which were decomposed into technical efficiency and economies of scale. It was analised these effects by the creation of three specific hospital centers, using a longitudinal approach to compare the period pre‐merger (2003‐2006) with the post‐merger period (2007‐09). To measure changes in inpatient hospital production volume and length of stay are going to be considered as done by Vita (1990) and Schuffham et al. (1996). For outpatient services the number of consultations and emergencies are going to be considered (Vita, 1990; Fournier e Mitchell, 1992; Carreira, 1999). Total variable cost is considered as the dependent variable explained the aforementioned ones. After a review of the literature results expected point to benefits from the mergers, namely a reduction in total expenditures and in the number of duplicated services. Results extracted from our data point in the same direction, and thus for the existence of some economies of scale only for small hospitals.

The global primary energy mix is mostly composed by nonrenewable resources and the use of which uses contributes to increase the greenhouse gas emissions. The consumption of oil and coal, responsible for attending 60% of the total energy demand between 1970 and 2015, is more likely to enhance the air pollution than the consumption of natural gas. Besides, some authors announce the impossibility of sustaining the demand of oil with conventional type only at around 2050, because of technical and economic constraints over the reserves. Technology has been playing a roll giving more flexibility to the interfuel substitution among fossil fuels, in many applications. That gives the opportunity to increase the share of natural gas in the primary mix, while reducing the consumptions of the other two. Moreover, the reserves of natural gas are larger in comparison with the ones of oil, allowing it to alleviate the pressure over the latter. From those perspectives, increasing the use of natural gas would contribute to reduce the negative environment externality and the extension of a possible shock to be unleashed in the energy supply. The objective of this dissertation is to seek for a substitutability between natural gas and the others fossil fuels in the primary energy demand, using the Morishima Elasticity of Substitution, between 1970 and 2015. The model started with a Translog cost function to obtain the input demand equations of each fuel and their cost share functions, applying Shephard’s lemma. The parameters of the econometric regression were estimated by the Seemingly Unrelated Regressions method, as means to measure the price elasticity, the Allen Elasticity of Substitution and the Morishima Elasticity of Substitution. The model was applied to the United States due to their significance in the global context of energy. The results showed that a single conclusion for the period as a whole is statistically insignificant. Based on own-price elasticities, there were clearly three structural brakes, statistically significant, which divided the time series in four intervals. In the interval 1970-1981, the natural gas had a complementary relation with oil and both were substitutes for coal. In the intervals 1982-1995 and 1996-2008, there was substitutability among natural gas and oil, although limited. In the most recent interval, all of the fuels were complements to each other. Putting together the elasticities of substitution and the price elasticities analysis, we conclude that factors exogenous to the free market relations, such as government interventions, were determinants to demand decisions. The lack of a continuous and consistent relation of substitution between natural gas and the other two fossil fuels, warns that the concerns presented in this work may have being neglected and a transition from a polluted and finite mix to another cleaner and renewable, bridged by natural gas, is not occurring in the world’s largest economy.
A matriz mundial de energia primária é composta predominantemente por recursos não renováveis e cujo consumo contribui para a intensificação do efeito estufa. O consumo do petróleo e do carvão, combustíveis que supriram mais de 60% da demanda total de energia entre 1970 e 2015, é mais intensivo na geração de poluentes do que o consumo do gás natural. Além disso, alguns autores datam para próximo de 2050 a impossibilidade de sustentar a demanda de petróleo, pelo esgotamento técnico e econômico das reservas do tipo convencional. A tecnologia vem dando flexibilidade para que haja a substituição dentre os combustíveis fósseis, em várias aplicações. Isso gera a oportunidade de aumentar o consumo do menos poluidor, o gás natural, em substituição aos outros dois. O gás natural também possui reservas relativamente maiores do que as do petróleo, o que permite a ele aliviar parte da pressão colocada sobre este último. Por estas perspectivas, aumentar a participação do gás natural contribui para a mitigação da externalidade ambiental e reduz a magnitude de uma possível crise causada por um choque de oferta. O objetivo geral desta dissertação é responder se há uma relação de substituição entre o gás natural e os outros combustíveis fósseis na demanda de energia primária, pela Elasticidade de Substituição de Morishima, no período entre 1970 e 2015. O modelo partiu de uma função de custos do tipo Translog para chegar às equações de demanda condicionada de cada combustível e às equações de participação de custo, aplicando o lema de Shepard. Os parâmetros da regressão econométrica foram estimados pelo método Seemingly Unrelated Regressions e usados para os cálculos das elasticidades da demanda aos preços, de substituição de Allen e de substituição de Morishima. O modelo foi aplicado aos Estados Unidos, dada a significância deste país no contexto mundial de energia. Os resultados mostraram que uma única conclusão para todo o período é estatisticamente insignificante. Com base nas elasticidades aos próprios preços, foi possível identificar três quebras estruturais, estatisticamente significativas, dividindo o período em quatro intervalos. No intervalo 1970-1981, o gás natural se mostrou complementar ao petróleo e, estes dois, substitutos ao carvão. Nos intervalos 1982-1995 e 1996-2008 foi identificada uma relação de substituibilidade entre o gás natural e o petróleo, apesar de limitada. No mais recente, todos os combustíveis tiveram relações de complementariedade. Aliando estas às interpretações das elasticidades-preço, concluiu-se que fatores externos ao mercado, como interferências de governo, foram mais determinantes para as decisões de demanda. Não ter sido possível encontrar uma relação de substituição entre o gás natural e os outros dois fósseis, de forma contínua e consistente, deixa o alerta de que as preocupações levantadas podem estar sendo negligenciadas e que a transição de uma matriz predominantemente suja e finita para outra mais limpa e renovável, mediada pelo gás natural, não está em curso na maior economia do mundo.

Abstract:
This doctoral thesis consists of three essays. In the first essay I investigate the presence of productivity convergence in eight regional pulp and paper industries of U.S. and Canada over the period of 1971-2005. Expectation of productivity convergence in the pulp and paper industries of Canadian provinces and of the states of its southern neighbour is high since they are trading partners with fairly high level of exchanges in both pulp and paper products. Moreover, they share a common production technology that changed very little over the last century. I supplement the North-American regional data with national data for two Nordic countries, Finland and Sweden, which provides a scope to compare the productivity performances of four leading players in global pulp and paper industry. I find evidence in favour of the catch-up hypothesis among the regional pulp and paper industries of U.S. and Canada in my sample. The growth performance is at the advantage of Canadian provinces relative to their U.S. counterparts. However, it is not good enough to surpass the growth rates of this industry in the two Nordic countries. It is well-known that econometric productivity estimation using flexible functional forms often encounter violations of curvature conditions. However, the productivity literature does not provide any guidance on the selection of appropriate functional forms once they satisfy the theoretical regularity conditions. The second chapter of my thesis provides an empirical evidence that imposing local curvature conditions on the flexible functional forms affect total factor productivity (TFP) estimates in addition to the elasticity estimates. Moreover, I use this as a criterion for evaluating the performances of three widely used locally flexible cost functional forms - the translog (TL), the Generalized Leontief (GL), and the Normalized Quadratic (NQ) - in providing TFP estimates. Results suggest that the NQ model performs better than the other two functional forms in providing TFP estimates. The third essay capitalizes on newly available high frequency energy consumption data from commercial buildings in the District of Columbia (DC) to provide novel insights on the realized energy use impacts of energy efficiency standards in commercial buildings. Combining these data with hourly weather data and information on tenancy contract structure I evaluate the impacts of energy standards, contractual structure of utility bill payments, and energy star labeling on account level electricity consumption. Using this unique panel dataset, the analysis takes advantage of detailed building-level characteristics and the heterogeneity in the building age distribution, resulting in buildings constructed before and after mandatory energy standards came into effect. Estimation results suggest that in commercial buildings constructed under a code, electricity consumption is lower by about 0.48 kWh per cooling degree hour. When tenants pay for their own utilities, consumption is lower by 0.82 kWh per cooling degree hour. The Energy Star effect is a 0.31 kWh reduction per cooling degree hour. Finally, peak savings for all three variables of interest occur at 2pm in the summer months, whereas peak summer marginal prices at DC's local electric utility occur at 5pm.

Since 1990’s, the government promotes financial liberalization and internationalization, eliminating from various financial restraints continually and carrying out a series of financial reformation. The financial market gets into another vigorous development and keen competition level in Taiwan. To face unknown keen competitive environment, the bank managements how to confront this environment effectively, surmount current difficult position. It is an important issue that banks whether continuing operate or not. This paper formulates and estimates a model for Taiwan commercial banking industry 1995~2003. This paper uses two types of cost functions－the Translog cost function and Generalized Leontief cost function, stochastic frontier analysis(SFA) and Panel Data model to analysis cost efficiency and the reasons that affect cost efficiency. This paper has these main results： 1.Translog cost function has more suitable than Generalized Leontief cost function in Taiwan’s commercial banking. 2.Generalized Leontief cost function and Translog cost function have same trend in average cost efficiency. It presents a drop-off trend from 1995 to 2003. 3.In cost efficiency regression model, there are eight variables which exist statistic obvious effect in Translog cost function; there only are two variables which exist statistic obvious effect in Generalized Leontief cost function. But in brench analysis, Generalized Leontief cost function has more useful than Translog cost function.

There are 14 financial holding companies in Taiwan now. It is a worthful subject whether every financial holding company can really be fully achieve the advantages and improve the management performance after their establishment or not, such as cost, scale, scope, etc. So, the purpose of this research is to discuss the management performance of the four kinds of business subsidiary companies such as bank, insurance, securities and ticket certificates before and after the establishment of financial holding companies. The research period is from the year of 87 to the year of 93. A lot of scholars were in the past to carry on performance analysis by using the translog cost function, but this function is unable to solve the situation that the observing value is zero. Thus, this research adopted the generalized translog cost function which changed the outputs by using the Box-Cox function and made the fixed effect model in the vertical-horizontal materials (panel data) to measure and compare the cost efficiency, economies of scale, and economies of scope of the subsidiary companies before and after the establishment of the financial holding companies. The result showed, the management performance of the subsidiary companies did not have a lot of disparity, and the cost had not decreased very much either. After the establishment of the financial holding companies, we can see that the performance of the economies of scale and scope on the bank subsidiary companies didn’t have changed very much. And the securities subsidiary companies and ticket certificate subsidiary companies had better performance. Although the cost of the insurance subsidiary companies drop a little, they had worse performance. In addition, we also found that the subsidiary companies can operate and increase the investments in order to make resources reach effective application, and then impel the cost to reduce.

Abstract:
Despite there being incredible challenges in enhancing livestock development in Kenya, this article isolates product supply and factors input demand responsiveness as the main constraints facing the smallholder. A flexible-Translog profit function permits the application of dual theory in the analysis of livestock product supply and factor demand responsiveness using farm-level household data. The results indicate that own-price elasticities were elastic for cattle, while goat and sheep were inelastic. Cross-price and scale elasticities were found to be within inelastic range in all cases, with the goat being a preferred substitute for cattle. All factor inputs demand elasticities were inelastic with the exception of elastic cattle output prices and labour cost. Thus, the recommended policy option would be supportive pro-pastoral price policies, enhanced investment in pastureland improvement and an increasing wage rate, since these assume key significance in improving the livestock production/marketing.
