英文文献摘要：
Flexible functional forms are used to examine the characteristics of production technologies. The Fourier functional form is capable of approximating any function globally, with the specified expansion. Unfortunately the exact form of the expansion is not known. The regularity conditions are likely to be violated without the exact form of expansion. In this paper we use a Bayesian approach to impose regularity conditions locally on a Fourier flexible functional from using agricultural production data. Monotonicity, concavity, convexity and elasticities are compared.

灵活的功能形式被用来检查生产技术的特点。傅里叶函数形式可以用特定的展开式近似任何函数。不幸的是，膨胀的确切形式尚不清楚。如果没有确切的膨胀形式，就很可能违反规则条件。在这篇文章中，我们使用贝叶斯方法，以施加正则条件的傅里叶灵活函数从使用农业生产数据局部。比较了单调性、凹性、凸性和弹性。
