produce the same product.a blackboard and chalk can be used instead of a computer and a projector.Which technology is“best”?How do we compare technologies?337.1.2 Production Functionsy denotes the output level.The technologys production function states the maximum amount of output possible from an input bundle.44Production Functions-One input,one outputy=f(x)x1Input LevelxOutput Levely1y1=f(x1)is the maximal output level obtainable from x1 input units.55Technologies with Multiple InputsSuppose the production function is(x1,x2)=(1,8)(x1,x2)=(8,8)66Technologies with Multiple

rate-of-change of the output level as the level of input i changes,holding all other input levels fixed.That is,1717Marginal(Physical)Products18187.1.4 Returns-to-ScaleMarginal products describe the change in output level as a single input level changes.Returns-to-scale describes how the output level changes as all input levels change in direct proportion(e.g.all input levels doubled,or halved).1919Constant returns-to-scaleIf,for any input bundle(xIf,for any input bundle(x1 1,x,xn n),),then the technology described by thethen the technology described by theproduction function f

increasesdiminishes as x1 increases所以，即使边际产出是递减的，规模报酬也可能是递增的。32327.1.5 Technical Rate-of-SubstitutionAt what rate can a firm substitute one input for another without changing its output level?3333Technical Rate-of-Substitutionx2x1y100100The slope of an isoquant is its technical rate-of-substitution.3434技术替代率的计算035357.1.6 长期和短期The long-run is the circumstance in which a firm is unrestricted in its choice of all input levels.There are many possible short-runs.A short-run is a circumstance in which a firm is restricted in some way in its choice of at least one input
