Abstract

The problems of construction of function of expenses of airline are investigated in the article. Basic properties and limitations of the use of this function of expenses are investigated. It is shown, how translogarithmic function can be used for the estimation of elasticity of substitution, measuring of general dynamics of the productivity of factors, economy of size and closeness of network of airline.
