Economies of scale can be considered as resulting in a transformation of the production function which in turn leads to a renumbering of the isoquants. The condition for technical progress to have the same effect is that it should also map one isoquant to another. This was shown in Figure ...
A firm has the production function f (x, y) = x + min { x, y } . The isoquants for the firm: A.are L shaped with the corners of the L on the line y = x.B.are L shaped with the corners of the L on the line y = x + 1.C.consist of two line segments, one ...
The Linear Production Function • Suppose that the production function is q = f(k,l) = ak + bl • This production function exhibits constant returns to scale f(tk,tl) = atk + btl = t(ak + bl) = tf(k,l) • All isoquants are straight lines –RTS is constant –= 37...

A production function can be represented in a table such as the one below. In this table five units of labor and two of capital can produce 34 units of output. It is, of course, always possible to waste resources and to produce fewer than 34 units with five units of labor and two ...

Leontief Production Function: Correspond to the case when-. (ij0) The functional form is q=f(z) = min{1z1, …,mzm}. The easiest way of proving this result is to check the corresponding MRTSijof CES production function as-, which lead to specific isoquants that are unique to Leontief...
