  2. Constant elasticity of substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_elasticity_of...

    Constant elasticity of substitution (CES) is a common specification of many production functions and utility functions in neoclassical economics.CES holds that the ability to substitute one input factor with another (for example labour with capital) to maintain the same level of production stays constant over different production levels.

  3. Economic production quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_production_quantity

    Production runs to replenish inventory are made at regular intervals; During a production run, the production of items is continuous and at a constant rate; Production set-up/ordering cost is fixed (independent of quantity produced) The lead time is fixed; The purchase price of the item is constant, i.e. no discount is available

  4. Economic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency

    Microeconomic reform is the implementation of policies that aim to reduce economic distortions via deregulation, and move toward economic efficiency. However, there is no clear theoretical basis for the belief that removing a market distortion will always increase economic efficiency.

  5. Production function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_function

    In economics, a production function gives the technological relation between quantities of physical inputs and quantities of output of goods. The production function is one of the key concepts of mainstream neoclassical theories, used to define marginal product and to distinguish allocative efficiency, a key focus of economics. One important ...

  6. Output elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_elasticity

    In economics, output elasticity is the percentage change of output (GDP or production of a single firm) divided by the percentage change of an input. It is sometimes called partial output elasticity to clarify that it refers to the change of only one input.

  7. Marginal product of labor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_product_of_labor

    A Review of Economics and Economic Methodology argues against pay to their marginal product to pay equal to the amount of their labor input. [14] This is known as the Labor theory of value. Marx characterizes the value of labor as a relationship between the person and things and how the perceived exchange of products is viewed socially. [15]

  8. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    An equivalent perspective relies on the relationship that, for each unit sold, marginal profit equals marginal revenue minus marginal cost (). Then, if marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost at some level of output, marginal profit is positive and thus a greater quantity should be produced, and if marginal revenue is less than marginal ...

  9. Total factor productivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_factor_productivity

    In economics, total-factor productivity (TFP), also called multi-factor productivity, is usually measured as the ratio of aggregate output (e.g., GDP) to aggregate inputs. [1] Under some simplifying assumptions about the production technology, growth in TFP becomes the portion of growth in output not explained by growth in traditionally ...
