Study Notes

Short-Run Production Function

A short-run production function assumes that at least one input is fixed.
This means that the level of output is not fixed, but rather variable.
All inputs are not fixed, only at least one input is fixed.
This is in contrast to a long-run production function, where all inputs can be varied.
