Analyzing Cost-Efficient Production Behavior Under Economies of Scope: A Nonparametric Methodology

In designing a production model for firms that generate multiple outputs, we take as a starting point that such multioutput production refers to economies of scope, which in turn originate from joint input use and input externalities. We provide a nonparametric characterization of cost-efficient beh...
