This paper examines the conditions for homothetic separability of a technology that is an aggregate of technologies of individual firms or industries. Given that the primitive (industry or firm) technologies exhibit homothetic separability, the authors establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the aggregate (sectoral) technology to also exhibit homothetic separability. These conditions are expressed in terms of the cost functions of the primitive technologies. They may then be utilized to obtain an econometric test for separability of the aggregate technology, using data only on the primitive technologies.
