A"cobb–douglas" production function relates production (q) to factors of production, capital (k), labor (l), and raw materials (m), and an error term u using the equation q = lkb1 lb2 mb3 eu, where l, b1, b2, and b3 are production parameters. suppose that you have data on production and the factors of production from a random sample of firms with the same cobb– douglas production function. how would you use regression analysis to estimate the production parameters?
