Study Notes

Production Function

The production function represents a technological relationship between output and inputs at a given point in time.
The production function can be expressed mathematically as: Q = f (Land, Labour, Capital, Entrepreneur)
In Economics, the production function typically excludes entrepreneur, which is instead incorporated into capital.

Two-Factor Inputs

There are two primary factor inputs that determine output: Labour (L) and Capital (K)
The two-factor production function can be expressed as: Q = f (L, K)

Short-Run Production Function

The short-run production function is a period of time where at least one factor of production is fixed, while others vary with the level of output.
The short-run production function is based on the assumption of the law of diminishing returns.
The short-run production function can be expressed symbolically as: Q = f (L, K)
In this context, L represents labor (variable input), and K represents capital (fixed input).
