Linear Production Function

The linear production function describes a linear relationship between the inputs and the ooutput.

For example:

Q = aL

Q = aL + bK

Chart:

Returns to scale

The linear production function has constant returns to scale.

Proof: Y = aK + bL Y’ = a (cK) + b (cL) = c (aK + bL) = c Y

Elasticity of substitution

The elasticity of substitution is ∞.
