Elasticities of Substitution for Two-Digit Manufacturing Industries: A Correction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between the cost per pupil and the size of the school and found that the change in cost from 1,000 to 1,500 students is -$11.14 per pupil, while the change from 2,500 to 2,244 students is −$5.53 per pupil.

Resource and output trends in the United States since 1870

(2) Is there evidence of retardation, or conceivably acceleration, in the growth of per capita output? (3) Have there been fluctuations in the rate of growth of output, apart
