In this case: - if the elasticity of production is 1, the production has constant return to scale, at that point. - if the elasticity of production is greater than one, the production has increasing returns to scale at that point. - if the elasticity of production is less than one, the production has decreasing returns to scale at that point. | + | If the production function contains only one input, the elasticity of production measures the degree of [[https://www.econowiki.com/doku.php?id=en:returns-to-scale|returns to scale]].
