2 Introduction Research Question Motivation How to impose generalized economic constraints on parametric model for the estimation of a single/multiple-output technology? Most of the applied econometrics literature on the estimation of technology ignores the imposition of economic constraints. Negative marginal products or technical regress Various methods developed to impose constraints
3 Research Question Motivation Motivation Production Function Example Cobb-Douglas ln Y = α + β K ln K + β L ln L + u ln Y / ln K = β K 0 MPK 0 Translog ln Y =α + β K ln K + β L ln L + 0.5β KK (ln K) β LL (ln L) 2 + β KL ln K ln L + u ln Y / ln K = β K + β KK ln K + β KL ln L 0 MPK 0 ln Y / ln K is now observation-specific.
4 Motivation Introduction Research Question Motivation Recent work on constrained regression Hall and Huang (2001) O Donnell, Rambaldi and Doran (2001) Racine, Parmeter and Du (2009) Henderson and Parmeter (2009) What is new? Complement O Donnell et al. (2001) with classical approach Extend Racine et al. (2009) to any linear estimator
5 A Simple Simulation Graphical Illustration Data Generating Process: y = x + x 2 3x 3 + x 4 + u where x iidu[0, 2.5] u iidn(0, 0.01) Estimate ŷ = ˆβ 0 + ˆβ 1 x + ˆβ 2 x 2 + ˆβ 3 x 3 + ˆβ 4 x 4 Constraint: ŷ/ x 0.

8 Constrained Regression: Estimation Constrained Regression: Estimation Constrained Regression: Inference Idea: Transform the response so that certain equality or inequality constraints are satisfied. Y = Xβ + u; Ŷ = Xb, where X = [1 x x 2 x 3 x 4 ] The unconstrained gradient: Ŷ(X)/ x = ( X/ x) b = [0 1 2x 3x 2 4x 3 ] (X X) 1 X Y n = x (X X) 1 X Y = A(x)Y = A i (x)y i The constrained gradient: i=1 Ŷ(X p)/ x = n i=1 A i(x)p i Y i = n i=1 A i(x)y i 0.
9 Constrained Regression: Estimation Constrained Regression: Inference Constrained Regression: Estimation Weight selection criterion p that minimizes D(p) = (p u p) (p u p) subject to Ŷ(X p)/ x 0 p: a weighting vector for the response [p 1, p 2,..., p n ] p u : a uniform weighting vector If p = p u, constraints will be non-binding.
10 Constrained Regression: Estimation Constrained Regression: Inference Constrained Regression: Inference Null hypothesis: Constraints are valid. A bootstrap approach: 1. Estimate the model under constraints, get D(ˆp), Ŷ(X ˆp), û; 2. Bootstrap û; obtain u ; 3. Create a new response, Y = Ŷ(X ˆp) + u ; 4. Estimate the model using the new sample under constraints, obtain D(ˆp ); 5. Repeat step 2 to 4 (B) times, calculate ˆP B = 1 B B b=1 I(D(ˆp ) D(ˆp)).
11 Econometric Model Data Results Future Work Multiple-output Technology Cannot use a production function Y: output vector (Q 1); X : input vector (K 1) Start with transformation function f (Y, X, t) = 1 or ln f (Y, X, t) = 0 ln f (Y, X, t) f (ln Y, ln X, t)
12 Econometric Model Data Results Future Work Multiple-output Technology Impose the restriction of homogeneous of degree 1 in inputs, and use X 1 (the first input) as the normalizing input: ln f (Y, X, t) ln X 1 f (ln Y, ln X, t) where ln X = ln(x /X 1 ) is a (K 1)-vector Estimate: ln X 1 = f (ln Y, ln X, t, id ) + u where id is a categorical variable for state effects f ( ): either a Translog (parametric) or an unknown smooth function (kernel-based nonparametric as in Li and Racine (2006)).
13 Econometric Model Data Results Future Work Multiple-output Technology Input distance function Shephard (1953) Färe and Primont (1995) Kumbhakar and Lovell (2000) Economic constraints: ln X 1 / ln X k 0 ( k = 2,..., K) ln X 1 / ln Y q 0 ( q = 1,..., Q) ln X 1 / t 0
