  Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas in 1928 used data from the US manufacturing
sector for 1899-1922 to introduce what is known today as the Cobb-Douglas
production function that has been widely used in economic theory for decades.
We employ the R programming language to fit the formulas for the parameters of
the Cobb-Douglas production function generated by the authors recently via the
bi-Hamiltonian approach to the same data set utilized by Cobb and Douglas. We
conclude that the formulas for the output elasticities and total factor
productivity are compatible with the original 1928 data.
