snqProfitHessianDeriv: SNQ Profit function: Derivatives of the Hessian

Description

Returns the matrix of derivatives of the vector of linear independent values of the Hessian with respect to the vector of the linear independent coefficients.

Usage

snqProfitHessianDeriv( prices, weights, nFix = 0, form = 0 )

Arguments

prices

vector of netput prices at which the derivatives should be calculated.

weights

vector of weights for normalizing prices.

nFix

number of (quasi-)fix inputs.

form

the functional form to be estimated (see snqProfitEst).

Examples

# just a stupid simple example
   snqProfitHessianDeriv( c(1,2,3),c(0.4,0.3,0.3) )

   # now with real data
   data( germanFarms )
   germanFarms$qOutput   <- germanFarms$vOutput   / germanFarms$pOutput
   germanFarms$qVarInput <- -germanFarms$vVarInput / germanFarms$pVarInput
   germanFarms$qLabor    <- -germanFarms$qLabor
   germanFarms$time <- c( 0:19 )
   priceNames <- c( "pOutput", "pVarInput", "pLabor" )
   quantNames <- c( "qOutput", "qVarInput", "qLabor" )

   estResult <- snqProfitEst( priceNames, quantNames, c("land","time"), data=germanFarms )

   snqProfitHessianDeriv( estResult$pMean, estResult$weights, 2 )
