Abstract

This paper proposes to estimate the returns-to-scale of production sets by considering the individual return of each observation, considered as a decision-making unit through the notion of Λ-returns to scale assumption. Along this line, the global technology is then constructed as the intersection of all the individual technologies. Hence, an axiomatic foundation is proposed to present the notion of Λ-returns to scale. This new characterization of the returns-to-scale encompasses the definition of α-returns to scale, as a special case as well as the standard non-increasing and non-decreasing returns-to-scale models. A non-parametric procedure based on the goodness of fit approach is proposed to assess these individual returns-to-scale. To illustrate this notion of Λ-returns to scale assumption, an empirical illustration is provided based on a dataset involving 63 industries constituting the whole American economy over the period 1987-2018.
通过个体规模收益描述生产集的特征:非参数规范及美国工业示例
本文建议通过考虑每个观测值的单个收益来估算生产集的规模收益,并通过Λ-规模收益假设的概念将每个观测值视为一个决策单元。按照这一思路,全局技术就被构建为所有单项技术的交集。因此,我们提出了一个公理基础来呈现Λ-规模回报的概念。规模收益的这一新表征包含了作为特例的 α 规模收益定义,以及标准的非递增和非递减规模收益模型。本文提出了一种基于拟合优度方法的非参数程序,用于评估这些单独的规模收益。为了说明Λ-规模收益假设的概念,我们基于 1987-2018 年间构成整个美国经济的 63 个行业的数据集进行了实证说明。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Production Economics focuses on the interface between engineering and management. It covers all aspects of manufacturing and process industries, as well as production in general. The journal is interdisciplinary, considering activities throughout the product life cycle and material flow cycle. It aims to disseminate knowledge for improving industrial practice and strengthening the theoretical base for decision making. The journal serves as a forum for exchanging ideas and presenting new developments in theory and application, combining academic standards with practical value for industrial applications.
