Overview

Testing Cobb-Douglas function against alternative forms in small-holding farmers, revealing limitations in certain crops.

Key Points

  • Cobb-Douglas restrictions were validated for aman rice and pulses, but not for aus rice or jute.
  • The study involved a sample of small-holding farmers across various crop seasons in Bangladesh.
  • Functional forms tested include transcendent and translog, indicating specific limitations of Cobb-Douglas.
  • Findings suggest caution in the indiscriminate use of Cobb-Douglas in agricultural production estimates.
