PB - StatsNZ DO - https://doi.org/APO-30327 UR - https://apo.org.au/node/30327 AB - This paper tests the assumption of a Cobb-Douglas production function (a unitary elasticity of substitution between capital and labour) for 20 of New Zealand’s industries, using Statistics New Zealand’s industry-level productivity data. It also assesses how the Leontief production function (zero substitutability) may apply to New Zealand industries. ER -
