| This study generalizes the applications of learning curve theory. It extends the simple power learning model in two ways: (1) by extending the model to include other sift variables, the extensive learning model; (2) by generalizing the functional relationship to give greater flexibility in modelling the learning curve, the translog learning model.;Through empirical analyses of gross domestic product, total energy consumption, petroleum consumption, and petroleum products consumption, different learning curve models are explored and compared. |
