Mathematical analysis of neoclassical production functions

Journal Title: Економіка: реалії часу - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 24

Abstract

It’s discussed the theoretical and methodological issues of using the Cobb-Douglas function and the function with constant elasticity of substitution of resources (CES-function) in the process of the modeling of the most important economic indicators of production, represented in terms of value. It is researched the possibility of the optimizing production within the CES-function depending on the capital-labor ratio. The optimal capital-labor ratio providing the maximizing output of the production is determined. It is considered marginal rate of substitution of resources within the Cobb-Douglas function and the CES-function, provided that the capital-labor ratio reaches the optimum value. It is shown that in this case the marginal rate of substitution of resources is equal to one. It offers a new interpretation of the marginal rate of substitution of resources as an indicator of the disparities of investing money in the aggregated factors "capital" and "labor".
