Abstract:

A Joint Production Function is a mathematical expression defining for a technology the set of alternative input vectors which yield a given output vector andor inversely defining the set of alternative output vectors obtainable with a given input vector. This notion, useful in economic theory and applied in econometric studies, has not been well formulated nor has a joint production function been shown to exist in the context of a general model of joint production. The research reported on in the paper is first directed to these issues. Secondarily, special forms for homothetic structures are investigated. Author
