Abstract
AbstractThis paper analyzes aggregation over firms assuming mean scaling, i.e., the relative distribution of micro variables is independent of the distribution of the aggregates. We emphasize cost‐minimization models encompassing general functional forms and heterogeneity of outputs and technology across firms. Mean scaling implies that aggregate relations inherit properties of micro behavior. The mean scaling hypothesis is not rejected using annual time‐series data on wheat production for crop districts in Manitoba.
