Abstract
AbstractThe economic theory of cost functions is employed to derive geographic cost differentials for construction projects located across the United States. Assuming a Cobb‐Douglas production technology, cost function estimates are obtained and used to calculate the regional cost differentials for major US cities relative to Washington, DC. Explanations are provided for adjusting these regional cost differentials according to additional information available on input prices or expected future inflation rates specific to particular locations.
