germanFarms

The <code>germanFarms</code> data frame contains annual data of an average
 full-time farm in West-Germany. Additionally, the price indices
 for agricultural output and agricultural variable input are
 included. 20 book-keeping years are included - starting in
 1975/76 and ending in 1994/95.

datasets

Various tools for microeconomic analysis and microeconomic modelling,
e.g. estimating quadratic, Cobb-Douglas and Translog functions,
calculating partial derivatives and elasticities of these functions,
and calculating Hessian matrices, checking curvature
and preparing restrictions for imposing monotonicity of Translog functions.
