Overview of Optimization in Ag Economics Lecture 2

Interregional and Spatial Economics Leibnitz’s Rule

In equilibrium p d (z) is the consumer’s inverse demand curve and p s (z) is the producer’s supply curve.

Applying Leibnitz’s Rule

Econometrics and Statistical Applications Historically, econometrics relied on closed form solutions made possible by linear models of normally distributed random variables. More complicated models that introduce factors such as concavity constraints and nonnormality do not imply closed form solutions.

Concavity constrained cost functions: Basic cost function formulation:

In this formulation, both the A and B matrices are symmetric by Young’s theorem. In addition, if the optimization conditions are met (as we will describe in this course) the cost function is concave in input prices, implying that the A matrix is negative semi-definite.

Fitting the cost function: We estimated this cost function using concentrated maximum likelihood. Specifically, the residual vector based on any set of parameter estimates is

These parameters are estimated by maximizing While this formulation is complex, it can be estimated using iterative generalized least squares without resorting to complex mathematical programming algorithms.

However, one approach to estimating a concavity constrained const function is to estimated the Cholesky decomposition of the A matrix. Specifically,

General Equilibrium Modeling the interaction between the two markets involves moving from a partial equilibrium analysis to a general equilibrium analysis. Early work on general equilibrium analysis involves the concept of a Walrasian equilibrium. The primary idea of the Walrasian equilibrium was the concept that some price vector could be found for any endowment that equated the supply and demand, or resulted in zero excess demand:

 I (p) is the excess demand for good i, it is a function of the price vector. Demand is determined by the initial endowment of goods W. p i (  i (p)-W i ) is the complementary slackness conditions. This condition implies that either the price of the i th good is zero, or its excess demand is zero.

Nonparametric Efficiency Analysis Economic efficiency of farms and agribusinesses has been analyzed by first estimating a parametric cost or profit function as developed in Featherstone and Moss. However, the efficiency results in these studies are conditioned on the choice of structural form used to estimate the parametric production function as well as the distributional assumptions used in estimation.

An alternative approach is to allow the most efficient firms to form an efficient technological envelope. Assuming that a firm produces a vector of m output from n inputs, a vector of outputs,, could be produced using some combination of outputs from firms in the sample.
