We use certain theoretical measures with absolute precision to uncover a microproduction
function with the correct functional form and unique coefficients and error term. This function is
not misspecified when its observed dependent variable is rewritten algebraically in terms of the
sum of the products of observed regressors with measurement errors and time-varying
coefficients and the error term with certain components. These coefficients are the sums of the
appropriate partial derivatives and formulas for excluded-variable and measurement-error biases.
The partial derivatives can be estimated without these biases.
