Abstract

Unobservable productivity shocks cause selection and simultaneity problems in firm’s decisions and these problems cause estimators such as ordinary least squares, have biased estimation for coefficients of production function inputs. In this study, data of five automaker companies in the period of 1383-1387 have been used and production function of car industry have been estimated by ordinary least squares, fixed effects, random effects, Olly and Pakes (1996) and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003a) approaches. The results show that fixed effects and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003a) approaches can’t be appropriate for the production function estimation of car industry. In other words, reaction of automaker companies to productivity shocks will not be done through adjustment in labor, capital and energy demands and there is no significant correlation between inputs adjustment and productivity shocks in car industry. But estimated coefficients of energy and capital in semiparametric, random effects and ordinary least squares approaches show that estimated coefficients of energy and capital in random effects and ordinary least squares approaches are upwardly and downwardly biased, respectively. These results are perfectly consistent with the viewpoint of Olly and Pakes (1996) about bias of traditional estimators and show that automaker companies, in response to the productivity shock, adjust their investment level. In addition based on estimation of semiparametric approach, output elasticity of capital and energy will be respectively 0.82 and 0.64.

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges of renewable resources is unpredictable nature of these resources. Nevertheless use of fossil-renewable integrated hybrid system, which uses some renewable resources rather than a single source, for the supply of power, is the most affordable and the most reliable method. In this study by use of analytical programming approach and 2012 base year statistics, production system of Khorasan Regional Electricity CO. has been simulated and the maximum renewable electricity potential, entered into power generation system. Results show that among all of solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and hydro, only solar power have enough capacity and potential to be substituted with fossil power. The comprehensive system, which uses all renewable potential power capacity, causes 6.38 TWh reduction in fossil power, 4.28 million tons emission, 10-fold increase in spot-hourly price and 21% reduction in grid stability which shows necessity of using stabilizer and storage equipment in the hybrid integrated production system and Technical and financial support from the government to reduce the cost of solar equipment.
