TLDR
In this paper, the parameters of the production technology for the United States timber harvesting industry were estimated from models based upon the production function and a flexible dual cost function, and the results were remarkably similar, and suggested that the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function was consistent with the data for the period 1951-1974.About:

Welfare effects of forestry best management practices in the United States
TL;DR: In this paper, a Muth-type equilibrium displace-ment model was constructed to examine welfare changes of these stakeholders, and the model considered a two-stage ver- tical production system with variable proportion production technology.

The Forest Sector: Important Innovations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the tree-growing potential of plantations and found that there is a substantial shift away from the harvesting of old-growth forests and toward intensive forest plantations.

A welfare analysis of China's tariffs on U.S. hardwood products
TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage partial equilibrium displacement model is applied to measure the vertical linkage between log and its secondary products, such as lumber and veneer, as well as the horizontal linkage between lumber and Veneer.

Foundations of Economic Analysis
TL;DR: Recent statistical techniques, including nonlinear programming, have been added to a basic survey of equilibrium systems, comparative statistics, consumer behavior theory, and cost and production theory as discussed by the authors, and they have been used in a variety of applications.
Book
Theory of cost and production functions
TL;DR: In this article, a unified treatment of cost and production functions underlie the economic theory of production is presented, and the duality between cost function and production function is developed by introducing a cost correspondence, showing that these two functions are given in terms of each other by dual minimum problems.

Book
Cost and production functions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mathematical interpretation of the duality between cost and production function, and present a heuristic principle of minimum costs and a Cobb-Douglas production function.

TL;DR: In this article, an industrial demand for energy is essentially a derived demand: the firm's demand for the energy is an input, derived from demand for a firm's output, which is an output.
