Abstract
In this paper, we explore the usefulness of nonparametric methods in t
he investigation of production behavior and the estimation of price el
asticities of output supply and input demand functions. The approach c
an handle the situation where some data points are not consistent with
production theory. The method is illustrated by estimating supply-dem
and elasticities of outputs and inputs in U.S. agriculture.
