Abstract:

Within a general framework of production correspondences satisfying a set of weak axioms necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a joint production function are given. Without enforcing the strong disposability of inputs or outputs it is shown that a joint production function exists if and only if both input and output correspondences are strictly increasing along rays.
