Electric_plants

R Documentation

Data: Färe, Grosskopf and Kokkelenberg (1989).

Description

Data of 19 coal-fired steam-electric generating plants operating in Illinois in 1978. Each plant uses 3 inputs to produce 1 output.

Usage

data("Electric_plants")

Format

Data frame with 18 rows and 5 columns. Definition of inputs (X) and outputs (Y):

x1 = Labor: Labor average annual employment
x2 = Fuel: Fuel 10^{10} Btu
x3 = Capital: Capital MW (fixed input)
y1 = Output: Output 10^6 Kwh
