"A Theory of Production" The Estimation of the Cobb-Douglas Function: A Retrospective View
No full textThe Cobb-Douglas production function is still today the most ubiquitous form in theoretical and empirical analyses of growth and productivity. The estimation of the parameters of aggregate production functions is central to much of today's work on growth, technological change, productivity, and labor. This paper has taken up Samuelson's [1979] invitation to verify empirically his claim that all the regression of the Cobb-Douglas [1928] production function does is to reproduce the income accounting identity according to which value added equals the sum of the wage bill plus total profits. This paper concludes that Samuelson was right, and believes that this argument has very serious implications for today's work in macroeconomics.

The Cobb-Gouglas function as an approximation of other functions
No full textBy defining the Variable Output Elasticities Cobb-Douglas function, this article shows that a large class of production functions can be approximated by a Cobb-Douglas function with nonconstant output elasticity. Compared to standard flexible functions such as the Translog function, this framework has several advantages. It requires only the use of the first order approximation while respecting the theoretical curvature conditions of the isoquants. This greatly facilitates the deduction of linear input demands function without the need of involving the duality theorem. Moreover, it allows for a generalization of the CES function to the case where the elasticity of substitution between each pair of inputs is not necessarily the same.flexible production functions, Cobb-Douglas function, CES function.
James W. Terrell to Howell Cobb, February 22, 1858
No full textIn this letter of February 22, 1858, James W. Terrell writes to the Honorable Howell Cobb informing him that he has not received the 4000 dollars had been sent to me. I have to inform you that the $4000 has not been received.
Your letter together with the statement containing the names of the Cherokees of North Carolina and the sum due each was received on the 8th instant I supposed that the drafts had been delayed in consequence of heavy mails and the almost impossible state of the roads, but I have now waited two weeks and they have not yet come
As soon as the Drafts come, and the necessary exchanges can be made I shall commence the payments.
Very Respectfully [&C]
Jas. W. Terrell
Hon Howel Cobb
Secretary of the Treasury
