The Cobb-Douglas [] production function involving an additive error term; constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) and Variable Elasticity of Substitution (VES) production functions are more complicated and highly nonlinear models. This research paper gives a new method of estimation of generalised Cobb- Douglas production functional model. Keywords: Output, labour input, technological coefficient parameter, labour input elasticity parameter and capital input elasticity parameter.. Introduction: Mathematical Economic theory indicates certain concepts in nonlinear production function analysis, which have frequently been used in practice. For instance, some of them are economics of scale, the degree of substitutability of the factors, capital or labour intensives and the efficiency of the process. Among all nonlinear production functions existing in the literature, the best known and the most widely used nonlinear production function is the Cobb-Douglas production function. The mathematical form of the Cobb-Douglas [] production function was due to Cobb (98), a mathematician; but the economic and empirical properties of the Cobb-Douglas production function was due to Douglas, an economist, with his vast amount of empirical support for the function, it gained current popularity. The nonlinear Cobb-Douglas [] production function model has been used in a wide variety of contexts in social and behavioural sciences.. Specification and properties of nonlinear Cobb-Douglas production functional model: The general form of nonlinear Cobb-Douglas [] production function is given by IJPT April-07 Vol. 9 Issue No Page 98

If (β + β ) =, then this model turns to be linearly homogeneous functional model. (iii) Isoquants for the nonlinear Cobb-Douglas production function are negatively sloped and convex downwards.

Estimation of parameters of CES production functional model: The constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production functional model form was first given by Dickinson (954) and later popularized by Arrow, Chenery, Minhas and Solow [5]. This function cannot be linearized by logarithmic transformation and its estimation is more complex than the Cobb-Douglas production functional model.the general form of CES production functional model is given by Y, 0.(3.) Where, Y: output; : Capital Input; : Labour Input; : Efficiency parameter : Distribution parameter; : Substitution parameter; : Returns to Scale parameter The first order partial derivatives of Y with respect to inputs and yield, Y Y (3.) Y Y.... (3.3) Here, Y and Y give the marginal products of capital and labour inputs respectively. In practice, the prices of labour and capital are not directly measurable; the wage rate(w) and the Rate of Interest (r) may be taken as their corresponding prices respectively. From the Mathematical Economics, under Theory of Firms, the marginal productivity conditions give Y Y w and r w Y... (3.4) And r Y. (3.5) w r..... (3.6) IJPT April-07 Vol. 9 Issue No Page 983

(3.7) Ln r Ln Ln Y Ln u.. (3.8) w Ln Ln Ln u r 3 (3.9) The equations (3.7), (3.8) and (3.9) may be written as w Y u (3.0) 0 r Y u... (3.) 0 Q Z u... (3.)

By considering (3.0), (3.) and (3.) multiple linear regression models and applying ordinary least squares (OLS) method of estimation, one can obtain the OLS estimators of parameters in the equations respectively as ˆ, ˆ and ˆ, (ii) ˆ 0, ˆ ˆ and and(iii) ˆ ˆ 0, (i) 0 Now, the estimators of,, and are given by ˆ ˆ...

(4.4) Where, Y Ln Y, Ln, 0 Ln,, Ln, Ln Ln 3 and 3 Thus, the nonlinear CES production functional model (5.9.) reduces to a multiplelinear regression model (4.4).The application of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method of estimation to the model (4.4) yields the OLS estimators of parameters 0,, and 3 as 0 ˆ, ˆ, ˆ and 3 ˆ respectively. Now the estimators of the parameters of the CES production functional model are given by ˆ ˆ ˆ Anti Ln 0, ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ and, ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ 3 ˆˆ 5.

Conclusion: One of the most common situations of statistical analysis in business, economics, engineering, physical sciences is likely to lead to a nonlinear regression model. Generally the models to be obtained as solutions of differential equations arising in physical sciences, engineering, and Ecology and business economics are some examples of nonlinear models. In the present work one of the important applications of nonlinear regression models namely estimation of generalised Cobb-Douglas production functional model has been discussed. Though there are various methods of estimation of this model are available in the literature a new method of estimation using OLS(Ordinary Least Squares) method of estimation has been proposed.
