Abstract
- The endogeneity bias that supposedly appears in the estimation of production functions which uses value data is investigated. Findings indicate that there is no econometric solution for the said bias, which means that correcting the problem through new estimators is questionable. The use of physical quantities as the only way to approximate production functions' technological parameters is discussed.
