- Abstract
- The article discusses the aggregation of production functions (PF). It is shown that consistent aggregation of PF is possible only in very special cases. A statistical aggregation method is suggested. It allows to synthesize new kinds of macroeconomic PF. Macroeconomic PF for the US economy based on industrial Cobb-Douglas PF with a normal distribution parameters is constructed and investigated. For the Russian economy the aggregate PF obtained on the basis of sectoral and regional Cobb-Douglas PF. It is shown that in case of scarcity of statistical data the more correct estimations of the aggregate PF for Russia may be derived using regional PF.
