Using the Box??Cox transformation, we may specify an alternative to the Cobb??Douglas model as Using Zellner and Revankar??s data in Appendix Table F9.2, estimate α, βk, βl, and λ by using the scanning method suggested in Section 9.3.2. (Do not forget to scale Y, K, and L by the number of establishments.) Use (9-16), (9-12), and (9-13) to compute the appropriate asymptotic standard errors for your estimates, compute the two output elasticities, ?? lnY/?? ln K and ?? lnY/?? ln L, at the sample means of K and L.

(K-1) In Y= a + Bk- (L-1) +B- +8.
