Estimation of output capacity utilization rate of the manufacturing sector in Iran: A translog cost approach
Abstract
The main goal of this research is to evaluate the use of production capacity in Iran's manufacturing sector by using econometric modeling methodology with the Translog cost function approach. the production capacity utilization rate have told as a level of production where the short-term average total cost curve and the long-term average total cost curve are tangent to each other, and under the conditions of constant returns to scale, the production capacity corresponds to that level of production which corresponds to the minimum point of the short-term average total cost curve.
The results of Translog cost function estimation with the weighted least squares econometric method show that the utilization rate of the production capacity of the manufacturing sector has decreased since 2008 and in the years 2014 and 2015 it is faced with the lowest capacity utilization rate and this situation continued in 2017 and 2018. In total, the capacity utilization rate in Iran's factory industries during the period 1380 to 1398 was about 77% on average. Surveys at the level of industrial activities show the fact that the industries of "production of medicine and pharmaceutical products", printing and reproduction industries, "production of rubber and plastic", industries of "production of chemical substances", industries of "production of paper and paper products", "Leather production" industries, "base metal production" industries and "other non-metallic mineral products" industries are in a situation that is lower than the long-term trend of using their capacity. In contrast to the industries of "production of other articles not classified elsewhere", the industries of "textile production", the industries of "production of tobacco and tobacco products", the industries of "production of various beverages", the industries of "clothing production" and the industries of "production of food industries". Nearly 80 percent or more have used their capacity in the period under review.
