This book contains a modern treatment of production economics from a dual perspective, with a special emphasis on recent developments in the field. The book prepares the reader to apply the tools and concepts of the dual approach production economics to real world problems and data sets. Among other topics covered are flexible function forms, aggregation across inputs and outputs using the theory of separable structures, aggregation over economic optimizingfirms, the representation of multioutput technologies, and the analysis and measurement of technical change from both a primal and dual perspective

"Pour la première fois en langue française, les auteurs présentent les différents concepts et outils nécessaires à l'analyse de la performance des entreprises ainsi qu'à la mesure de leur efficacité et de leur productivité. L'entreprise est-elle efficace? Le producteur alloue-t-il systématiquement les ressources qui sont à sa disposition de manière efficiente? Les coûts sont-ils toujours réellement minimisés? Quid de la maximisation du profit? Observons-nous des gains de productivité? Ces questions essentielles s'adressant à tous types d'industries et de secteurs trouveront dans cet ouvrage le contenu théorique nécessaire pour y répondre. L'ensemble des méthodes existantes est présenté de manière détaillée et rigoureuse. De plus, tout le matériel nécessaire au lecteur pour appliquer ces approches est fourni! Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants, doctorants et enseignants/chercheurs en économie et sciences du management."--Page 4 de la couv

Generalized quadratic revenue functions by Robert G Chambers (

In this paper we focus on specification of revenue functions in their dual price space. We consider two distance functions, both dual to the revenue function: Shephard output distance function and the directional output distance function, both in price space. The former is multiplicative, satisfying homogeneity, the latter is additive satisfying transitivity. Functional equation methods yield translog specification for the Shephard case and quadratic for the directional case. Monte Carlo evidence suggests that the quadratic specification more precisely represents technology
