Using the theory of multiproduct cost functions, this paper derives a cost function for physically frail older people living in private households, based on data collected between 1991 and 1995, for 472 subjects aged 65 years of age or over in four areas of England. The main characteristic of the co
## Abstract This paper estimates a longβrun hospital cost function with multiple outputs and inputs using a panel data set from Washington State hospitals during 1988β1993. We find that with our data the generalized Leontief function is more appropriate than a translog for estimating hospital cost
A new theory of generalized functions, which is more suitable for physical applications than distribution theory, is developed. The necessary definitions are given and the scalar product is defined.
