      abstract = {The Australian banana industry is an example where neither  the time series
data necessary for estimating grower  responses nor the detailed cross
sectional data on  individual inputs are readily available to  enable
econometric estimation of producer response to price  or cost changes.
In this paper a calibration method of a  CES production function, based on
cost shares of variable  and fixed inputs in total production cost, is used  to
approximate regional supply elasticities for banana  growers in Australia.
Although this approach to estimation  may not be the ideal, it appears to
produce plausible  results.},
