A spatially analyse of the production structure and input choices for the heating, sawmill, and pulp sectors in Sweden is conducted using a panel data set includes quarterly data for period 2011 to 2016 across 21 counties. Focus is on price and input substitution elasticities, scale effects and technical change measures. A single-output regional translog cost models is developed and estimated. The translog specification is chosen for its flexibility and for the range of alternative hypotheses that can be tested. The results indicate relative elastic price elasticities, limited possibilities to exploit scale effects to future reduce the variable production costs, technical restriction in input substitution options, and mature production technologies that still need to be invested in to reduce technical deterioration over time. The results are usable for practitioners, policy and decision-makers as well as inputs in future academic modelling, especially when assessing the paths towards a biobased economy.

使用面板数据集对瑞典的供热，锯木厂和纸浆行业的生产结构和投入选择进行空间分析，该数据集包括21个县2011年至2016年的季度数据。重点是价格和投入替代弹性，规模效应和技术变革措施。建立并估算了单项产出的区域性超标成本模型。选择translog规范是因为其灵活性以及可以测试的替代假设的范围。结果表明相对弹性的价格弹性，利用规模效应以减少未来可变生产成本的可能性有限，投入替代选择的技术限制以及仍需投资以减少随着时间推移而出现的技术恶化的成熟生产技术。
