Understand the effect on policy models of a quadratic PMP cost function.
Understand this formulation has a production function which enables us to measure adjustments at the intensive margin.
Run and interpret the PMP CES Machakosmodel, and Calculate the elasticities of supply and input demand.

After introducing the “IL” set, allowing us to exclude cattle, we can define the calibrated non-linear program:

Assume Constant Returns to Scale
Assume the Elasticity of Substitution is known from previous studies or expert opinion. ◦ In the absence of either, we find that 0.17 is a
numerically stable estimate that allows for limited substitution

Consider a single crop and region to illustrate the sequential calibration procedure:
Define:
And we can define the corresponding farm profit maximization program:

Constant Returns to Scale requires:
Taking the ratio of any two first order conditions for optimal input allocation, incorporating the CRS restriction, and some algebra yields our solution for any share parameter:

As a final step we can calculate the scale parameter using the observed input levels as:

To avoid unbalance coefficients, we can scale input costs into units of the same order of magnitude for the program, and then de-scale inputs back into standard units.

When only equilibrium price and quantity in the model base year, and an estimate of elasticity are available, we can follow these steps to derive a demand function:
◦ Assume linear form specification:
◦ Recall demand elasticity:
◦ Rearrange the flexibility relationship:
◦ Derive the intercept:

Redefine the non-linear profit maximization program with endogenous prices and CES production, except we include the demand function as an additional constraint in the model:
