So, output may increase, though the additional (marginal) output from adding an acre of land may decrease. If more and more land is added that must be tended by this one worker, there will eventually be so much land that output starts to decrease as the worker becomes overwhelmed (that is, less labor time, on average, is devoted to each acre).
Differential ground rent and absolute ground rent are concepts used by Karl Marx [1] in the third volume of Das Kapital [2] to explain how the capitalist mode of production would operate in agricultural production, [3] under the condition where most agricultural land was owned by a social class of land-owners [4] who could obtain rent income from farm production.

In economics, economic rent is any payment to the owner of a factor of production in excess of the costs needed to bring that factor into production. [1] In classical economics, economic rent is any payment made (including imputed value) or benefit received for non-produced inputs such as location and for assets formed by creating official privilege over natural opportunities (e.g., patents).
There is also the theory that adding to the price of a luxury product increases its exchange-value by mere prestige. The labor theory as an explanation for value contrasts with the subjective theory of value, which says that value of a good is not determined by how much labor was put into it but by its usefulness in satisfying a want and its ...
The law of rent states that the rent of a land site is equal to the economic advantage obtained by using the site in its most productive use, relative to the advantage obtained by using marginal (i.e., the best rent-free) land for the same purpose, given the same inputs of labor and capital.
According to the Harrod–Domar model there are three kinds of growth: warranted growth, actual growth and natural rate of growth. Warranted growth rate is the rate of growth at which the economy does not expand indefinitely or go into recession. Actual growth is the real rate increase in a country's GDP per year.
The brainchild of Dutch reality TV maestro John de Mol — who also dreamed up the formats for global unscripted hits like Big Brother and The Voice — Utopia had already launched successfully in ...
Factor price equalization is an economic theory, by Paul A. Samuelson (1948), which states that the prices of identical factors of production, such as the wage rate or the rent of capital, will be equalized across countries as a result of international trade in commodities. The theorem assumes that there are two goods and two factors of ...
