Constant Elasticity of Substitution Production Function | Economics

In this article we will discuss about the constant elasticity of substitution production function. Elasticity of Substitution: One of the limitations of Cobb-Douglas production function is the unitary elasticity of substitution between labour and capital. This is a rigid assumption of Cobb-Douglas production function. "The elasticity of substitution in the Cobb-Donglas Production Function is unity" can be proved below. The [...]

Calculating the Coefficient of Elasticity of Substitution

In this article we will discuss about the elasticity of substitution in a firm. Let us suppose that the firm's production function is Q = f(L, K)                                   [(8.122)] The convexity property of the isoquants (IQs) expresses the principle of diminishing marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) of L for K as the substitution of L for K proceeds. The MRTS [...]
