Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik / Revue Suisse d'Economie politique et de Statistique / Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics, Volume 129, Issue 4, 1993, Pages 617-623
Abstract
The application of the translog GNP function approach to Swiss data indicates that imported inputs seem to be the most important channel for technical change, whereas the production of exports and domestic sales does not seem to be strongly different with respect to the implementation of technical change.
