Abstract: | This paper is concerned with developing a production theory for the case when some inputs have nonlinear prices because the price depend on endogenous quality. This involves extending the notion of a cost function to the case where nonlinear prices are parameters of costs. After developing the appropriate theory, the authors apply their results to the case of coal-fired electric power generation where fuel quality depends on sulfur and ash impurities. |
